Leadership always brings several interesting twists in the development of leaders and followers.

How do we want others to treat us? With respect, integrity, love, appreciation, patience, etc.? If this is true, then Jesus would instruct us to treat others this way first!

We must not be influenced or directed by the practices of culture in our relationships. 

It is easy to react, instead of acting as we should. Additionally, we must be careful to guard against overreacting. 

Leaders must learn to act in keeping with the way we want others to act.

How do we want to be treated as a leader? With respect, understanding, love, appreciation, patience, etc.? If this is how we want to be treated, Jesus would tell us to treat others this way first!

If we are not careful, it is easy to react, instead of acting as we should. We must also be careful to guard against overreacting.
