Bob and Peggy KuestThe myth is that servant leadership is seen as weak and one cannot set boundaries.
Jesus was a servant leader and yet he exercised authority because it was best for us. Is our leadership best for the apprentice or for those we lead.
In Israel, every law was given for its benefit: the sanitation laws, civil relationships, government, how to worship God and so on. They were there also to prove to Israel the seriousness of consequences of sin.
“If you have to tell people you’re a leader, then you’re not.”
“Getting people to do what you want through cohesion or fear means you’re not a leader.”
Leadership principles don’t change whether you’re leading one person or one thousand.
Good leaders develop an eye for potential. They develop, encourage, challenge that potential.
Be consistent as a leader.
Leadership is about helping others grow.
Leaders develop accountability relationships – “First among equals”. Hold each other accountable for openness and transparency.
