The Leadership Style of Jesus

Today, our Pastor (Dr. Steve Laufer) asked, “During this Christmas season, are you experiencing the Christ of Christmas in the things that give you the greatest joy in this life?  Is finding joy in Christ Himself—through a personal relationship with Him—one of your most joyful experiences?”

This month, I’m focused on the Christ of Christmas.  Jesus the Messiah created a community of people who were focused on his kingdom vision, and by leading, teaching, motivating, and inspiring those people, He changed the world.

Michael Youssef, who has executive experience in worldwide ministries, examined the leadership Jesus modeled and suggests eighteen principles for leaders like you and me.

What are you Sacrificing?

In everyday things the law of sacrifice takes the form of positive duty. - James Anthony Froude

Many want to climb the corporate ladder, hoping for freedom and power at the top.

They think, “When I get to the top, then I will learn to lead. If I were on top, everyone would follow. Or, when I get to the top I will be able to do anything.” They don’t recognize these are myths of leadership. Leadership is influence, and when you get to the top, you have to practice servant leadership which requires sacrifice.

Leaders who want to rise have to do more than take an occasional cut in pay; they have to give up their rights. That’s true of every leader, regardless of profession. Talk with any leader, and you will find that she or he has made repeated sacrifices, and the higher the leader has climbed, the greater the sacrifices made.

Out of This World Leaders sacrifice the good in order to get the best.
