LEADERSHIP

“For an overseer, as God's steward, must be above reproach. He must not be arrogant or quick-tempered or a drunkard or violent or greedy for gain, but hospitable, a lover of good, self-controlled, upright, holy, and disciplined. He must hold firm to the trustworthy word as taught, so that he may be able to give instruction in sound doctrine and also to rebuke those who contradict it. “

-- Titus 1:7-9

“Servant leadership is a concrete expression of a daily commitment to live out the Word of God and the will of God and thereby advance the kingdom of God.”

“Lead Like Jesus”, Ken Blanchard & Phil Hodges

“…even as the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”

Mathew 20:28

“The servant-leader is servant first…It begins with the natural feeling that one wants to serve, to serve first.”

“The Servant as Leader”, Robert K. Greenleaf (1977, p13)
