Lead Like Jesus
July 20th, 2007 · Posted in Books ·
I finished reading Lead Like Jesus by Ken Blanchard and Phil Hodges today. It is a great book — in a way a Biblical version of Steven Covey’s ideas I read some years ago and have tried to live by ever since.
Blanchard and Hodges call on us to lead in the way Jesus lead — to be a servant leader. For this to happen, they say we need 4 things:
1. The heart of a servant leader — We need to be lead by Jesus, and be willing to lead others in the way Jesus lead — by serving.
2. The head of a servant leaders — We need to focus on how we can serve others — not how we can be served by others.
3. The hands of a servant leader — We need to act in ways that will serve others and serve God.
4. The habits of a servant leader — We need to have habits of prayer, scripture reading, solitude, scripture memorization, and other things that will renew us in our commitment to serving.
The heart, head, hands, and habits of a servant leader will help us lead like Jesus!
