I Love Leadership
Good Leadership
We all know the results of bad
leaders
Some observations
1. If you do what comes natural, you will be a poor leader.
2. We lead as we were led.3. There seem to be more bad leaders than
good ones.4. There is a lot of confusion about “servant
leadership”.
It all started as a teenager

Servant Leadership
Jesus is the best example: John 13 Now that I, your Lord and
Teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash one another’s feet. I have set you an example that you should do as I have done for you.

Servant Leader
What is it not?You do all the dirty
workYou let everyone
else set your agendaYou serve
everyone’s requestsYou work 24/7 for
the good of others
You are a doormatYou are weakYou let others walk
all over youOthers take
advantage of you
Don’t carry them on your back…
Carry them in your heart.
