whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and
whoever wants to be first must be your slave— just as the Son of Man

Leadership is having an influence on someone else or a group of people
there are different kinds of leadership. There is life role leadership
and organizational leadership which can be broken down into differnt
parts.
The dramatic differnce between life role leadership and organizational
leadership is that in life role leadership its a more intimate its you
having a influence or impact on a person by touch thier lives in a
more personal way for example leadership in the family where as
organizational is on a more on a larger scale you may not even know
much about the peaple you are leading if at all.
I think its essential for us to adopt the example the lord set by
being a servant leader because we gain more by being humble people are
more open to someone they can relate to when they know that the person
leading them is there for them and understands full well the
challenges they face . In being a servant leader you face those
challenges first hand so you learn how to best get through the
obstacles. Espesially when it comes to young people if they feel
distant from you or detached you will never be able to lead them.
It is very important to have trust between you and the person you lrad
because trust helps to remove the walls that are up because of
mistrust . Mistrust breeds insecurity in a person which vauses them to
clam up . Even God needs to be able to trust us with the lives placed
in our hands.

Leadership is guiding, direction and influencing the thinking,
behavior or development of people in their personal or professional
life. Leadership isn’t given, it is earned.
Life Roles leaders help to develop traits and character through an
enduring lifelong relationship where duty and obligations cannot be
relinquish or discarded. Their goal is to “do the right thing.” This
is usually a commitment to give of oneself not considering
compensation or reward. On the other hand organizational leaders
perform on a temporary basis where relationships change from time to
time according to title and positions. Their goal is to “do things
right.” Life role leadership is Christ centered.
Real leaders serve like Jesus. We are called to meet the needs of
others so we can have the opportunity to bring them to Christ. As
servant leaders we serve others not for personal recognition, but to
help those we serve to develop and live great lives for Christ. We
should not lead to abuse our title and authority, but that we serve
God and others with love. Jesus modeled servant leadership by
submitting himself to his father and gave his life so we might live.
To be an effective leader, our followers must have trust and
confidence in us. It is the followers, not the leaders who determine
if the leader is successful. If the followers do not rust of lack
confidence in their leader, then they will be uninspired. People do
not like at attributes, they rather observe what we do, which tells
who we really are. People will not trust leaders who are self serving
persons who misuse authority to present a good image at the expense of
others. Self serving leaders are not effective because people can
only obey them, not follow them. Peter trusted God because he had a
relationship with him, and knew he could take him at his words. We
need leaders today who will be honest and true in whatever they do.
God leaders are developed, not born. If we have the desire ad will
power we can become effective leaders. God bless you all.

A. Leadership is setting a new direction or vision for an individual
or a group. It includes guiding them towards a common goal, showing
the way by example and creating an environment in which members feel
actively involved in the entire process. Leadership is not letting
people stay comfortable, allowing their potential to remain dormant.
It is pushing them past their limit and standing with them through
difficult situations that will bring out the best in them. Great
leadership as shown by Jesus, is spending time with those being led,
caring more about who they are becoming instead of what they are
doing. Issues should be addressed as soon as they arise so individuals
can be lovingly restored. Leadership takes guts- being open and honest
so one does not find him/herself ‘leading from behind.’ Emphasis
should be placed on a leader’s consistency so his/her dedication will
not be doubted. It also includes empowering (giving necessary tools to
succeed), motivating and being reliable. (Note that Jesus sent out His
Disciples only after equipping them for service.)
B. The most dramatic difference between Life role leadership and
Organizational leadership is the permanence or lack of it. Life role
leadership is a permanent, continual, forever relationship in which
duty or obligation cannot be easily cast off or ceded. Focused is
placed on passing on values that will cultivate emotional and
spiritual strength as well as trustworthiness. The greatest reward is
that these traits will be passed on from one generation to another.
Organizational leadership role is all about positions and titles and
is only for a time (impermanent). While Life role leadership is not
affected by time, age or circumstance, Organizational leadership is
contingent on the longevity of the job. Due to this fact, the leaders
tend to go in with little feeling attached- “in it to win it” and move
on.
C. St. Matt. 20:25-28 is telling me clearly that importance should not
be placed on the ’position’ but what is being done and what motivates
it. No matter how menial a task is deemed to be, if we do it with
humility, we will stand tall. Feet washing for example, was done by
the least in a group. Jesus, however, abolished the status quo by
doing what no other Rabbi or leader had ever done. As He rightly puts
it ”I came to minister not to be ministered unto.” We are mandated to
lead with a servant heart and as His followers, should be available
for service when and where the need arises. When we surrender all our
habits to Him, whatever we do will be done out of love, not through
self-righteous service. Our aim is not for the spotlight, we do not
use false modesty, not with eye-service as men pleasers but
genuineness of heart. When our lives are patterned off His teaching it
will be easy to serve any and everyone. Where there is a need we will
be willing and ready to serve because true service has become our
lifestyle.
D. Trust is a form of confidence, a sense of belief that someone is
reliable. It is one of the key cornerstones of any relationship and
without it people who have to work together cannot properly function.
When there is trust and an error occurs, on party will quickly dismiss
it knowing that the other will correct and/or restore same. There’s a
spirit of cooperation and concession as both have determined to work
toward mutual goals. Without trust however, the conclusion will be
quickly drawn that sabotage is involved. People, being human are
liable to change. When you expose your vulnerability to someone and
they take advantage of your openness, trust must be rebuilt in order
for it to be gained. I’m a strong believer in brutal honesty: love
someone enough to tell him/her the truth without compromising your
principles. The offender in Christ likeness should speak the truth and
quickly apologize. Contrary to popular belief this does not make you
weak, it makes you human. When confidences are eroded there’s no
transparency and the sense of safety and comfort level is gone.
Instead of building bridges people start to build walls which only
hamper the progress of the job at hand. Imagine soldiers going to
battle and instead of concentrating on the enemy they have to be
worried about friendly fire. If a Disciple messed up Jesus immediately
corrected and restored him to the fold. When we determine who we are
and whose we are, our agendas will be clear as we’re emulating Christ.
Because He has proven Himself to be trustworthy, the entire human
race today has an advocate.

Leadership is the ability to set goals and able to communicate the
goals to others. A leader motivates others and leads them to
accomplish set goals or a vision. There are different types of
leadership and leadership roles, but the two we are considering are
the life role leadership and the organizational leadership. life role
leadership deals with personal position one occupies in life, such as
being a husband, a father ,a mother, or a wife. In these relationships
trust and love is the glue that hold them together, but in the
organizational leadership the focus is in the effectiveness of the
leader of the organization, meaning high performance and high human
satisfaction and there may be a time limit.
Regarding the statement of Jesus in Matthew 20:25-28, He is telling
them the type of leaders He want to be, He wants them to follow in his
footsteps, by being servant leaders instead of self- serving leaders.
Although, Jesus was God but He made himself nothing, taking the very
nature of a servant, humbled himself unto death on a cross, therefore
God the Father exalted Him to the highest place and gave him a name
above every name(Phil.2:6-11). Likewise, if we humble ourselves as
leaders God will exalt us also.
In order for two people to work effectively well together, trust is
essential, if it's not established one will work to the detriment of
the other, whatever goal they have it will not succeed. As servants of
God who are leading others to Him, if we want to see success in our
works, our trust and dependence must be on Him so that others may
trust us.

Successful leadership characteristics are modeled after the leader
style of Jesus.
A. What is leadership?
Leadership is the process in which you are put in a position to have
style of Jesus.
A. What is leadership?
influence over someone, whether it is a group or a one-on-one
relationship. For instance a parent, a friend, an older sibling, the
mothers of the church etc. When someone seeks to influence the
thinking, behavior and development of people around them. We are all
leaders taking this course in effort to influence our young people to
live a Christ-like life.
B. What is the most dramatic difference between life role leadership
and organizational leadership?
organizational leadership is: In life role leadership which is usually
relationship based sister, brother, parents, etc. where there is
somewhat of a lifelong obligation to their leading them, life role
leader cannot just turn their backs on those relationships as easily
as an organizational leader can simply submit a letter of resignation
when a better opportunity comes along or they wish to no longer be a
part of the organization. Its true working at Citi or being in
college leadership roles and responsibly can change at any given
moment and you are sort thrown into different situations with new
management and honestly most people enter these relationships
apprehensively.
C. What is your view on the statement of Jesus?
Matthew 20:25-28 (New international Version) Jesus called them
together and said, "You know
that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their high
officials exercise authority over them. Not so with you, Instead,
whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and
whoever wants to be first must be your slave— just as the Son of Man
did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a
ransom for many."
Authority is not found in a position or title. Leadership is found in
that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their high
officials exercise authority over them. Not so with you, Instead,
whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and
whoever wants to be first must be your slave— just as the Son of Man
did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a
ransom for many."
becoming the servant of all. It’s not the titles nor the degrees or
status attained in the world. Living the Christ-like life is being a
servant and through that servant hood receiving power and freedom.
Servant leadership should exemplify how we live our lives and how we
show our love to one another it’s mandatory and crucial to adhere to
this mandate from Jesus for us to lead like he did.
D. Comment on the statement on page 24-25 trust is essential for two
Trust is essential for two people to work together. Trust is crucial
also for a team of people to work together. Once you are transparent
with one another and clear that there are no hidden agendas of wanting
to promote yourself from engaging in this relationship. As stated in
the reading trust flows first through the loving hearts and with life
role relationships love is the foundation which allows you to push
through the good times and the bad times but with love there is
forgiveness. Just as it takes time to build trust when that trust is
violated it takes time to build it back up as well.

A. According to the authors Blanchard and Hodges, “Leadership is a
process of influence. Anytime you seek to influence the thinking,
behavior, or development of people in their personal or professional
lives, you are taking on the role of a leader.”
B. The dramatic difference between life role leadership and
organizational leadership is that one more family based than the
other. In regards to life role leadership everyone “holds” a position
in their home. Whether is be a mother, father, sister or brother, each
plays an important role that is carried out during that individuals
life span. This type of leadership never ends; it evolves over time.
Organizational leadership is dependent upon a series of things. The
outcome is generally based on effectiveness.
C. As leaders we have to remember that it’s not about us, it’s about
the people whom we lead. There are times in leadership that
selfishness has to seize. It requires patience, time, effort, etc.
often geared towards someone other than yourself. Therefore in order
to lead well, one has to serve others first.
D. I agree with this statement. It is essential for both the leader
and the people following the leader to display and maintain a level of
trust. If both sides have trust in one another, then they are able to
easily meet the needs of one another.

Leadership is a process of influence. A good leader serve rather than been served and
lead by example.
The most dramatic difference between life role leadership and organizational leadership is
life role leadership is based on lifelong enduring relationship such as parents, spouse and
is focused on growing and developing people. Organizational leadership involves position
and titles given at the convenience of the organization to serve the needs of the organization.
My view on St. Matthew 20 v 25-28 is that Jesus was admonishing that instead using the("iron
fist" so to speak) when we are given the opportunity to lead, we should lead with humility
and be opt to serve instead of been served.
Trust is important for any two people to co-exist, even in our personal life there has to be trust
for relationship to work, so I believe it is very important for two people to trust each other to work
together.
This week begins the last phase of this course. This book is to help you experience Jesus in a whole different way- to grow to trust Him as the perfect One to follow as you seek to lead others.
