Mk 9: 30-37 Jesus teaches us how to be leaders

Send us Fan MailJesus was very clear in his understanding of leadership.  For example, His teachings on leadership are found in Matthew 20:26, where he states, "But among you it will be different. Whoever wants to be a leader among you must be your servant." This reflects the principle that true leadership is about serving others rather than seeking power or authority. It is sad when one  sees good people put in positions of authority, only to have the power go  to their head.  They no longer listen but are seduced by power and come to believe that they alone have the answer. There are several reasons why the wrong people get into leadership. For example, the Peter Principle is a management theory formulated by Dr. Laurence J. Peter, which purposes that in many organizations, employees are promoted based on their performance in their present roles until they are promoted to a position where they are no longer competent. Complete our 1 Minute Survey
