- How many times do people say they are servant leaders but really don't have a clue? I discuss what it is and what it isn't. This is a talk I did in chapel at Lancaster Bible College in Nov of 2018. Based on my books, "The Top Ten Mistakes Leaders Make" and "Top Ten Ways to Be A Great Leader" (David C Cook)
wonderful, God bless you!
Great talk. Thanks
You are most welcome!
I love that you grew up in Huntsville, Alabama! Great city!
Yes it is a great city!!!!
Thank you for your video

Not the role, but the goal! Inspire by doing yourself as well.

Greetings Pastor Travis. Thanks so much for reaching out to me. God bless you!
Thanks. I learned a lot.
Glad it was helpful! I appreciate you watching and commenting! Have a great day.....
It was a great speech. Amen
I have actually found out about Servant Leadership just recently as I was searching for the different types of Leadership. I realized then that there was a name to the way I wanted to work and conduct myself with others. I will check those 2 books. I am also searching for current leaders I could model.
Hi Jacques. I am so glad that you found me. I think you will find several of my books to really speak to the topic and unpack the details of how it really works. Thanks for your comment!
@@HansFinzel Thank you Hans - Indeed I have seen some of your books on Amazon
@@HansFinzel hello i'm a algerien phd student and i work about different types of leadership certainly servant leadership
There is only Leader that you can follow on Servant Leadership and that is Jesus.Its Jesus who first talked about servant leadership and showed how to be a servant leader. And
Kenneth Hartley Blanchard's books
@@rosyjacob5038 I do think Jesus is our best model. But there are other great leaders out there that also practice servant leadership. Thanks for your comment.
Fabulous. I've only worked under one person who exemplified these real leadership qualities. She showed me what I was capable of achieving by gently pulling me in the direction that fit my strengths. I grew in that organization in ways I never imagined would be possible for me. Cheers to the amazing leaders out there!!
Wow I am so glad to hear that. I don't get that a lot from my viewers and that really encourages me.
Am going to share this video with my church group as formation
Great wisdom and resonates with the core teaching of Lao Tzu (The Master), the author of TAO TE-CHING (CLASSIC OF THE WAY AND OF VIRTUE, 600 BCE) who wrote:
VERSE 7. OTHERS BEFORE SELF (as paraphrased by me):
The sage places himself last and emerges first.
Because he subordinates himself, he is preserved.
Is it not because he does not live for selfishness that he realises himself?
Christian leadership is not right but Leadership by Christ is right because its opposite to top down and that is Servant Leadership👍
Some good points in there hans but as an agnostic, far too much religious reference for me I only come to listen to you talk about leadership not have religion quoted at me.
If you notice in the notes. This talk is done at a Bible College, hence the references to the Bible & Scripture.
Servant leadership? An oxymoron. In the church we have servants: people with different roles, from organising to being organised. Leading people is supporting them to be effective in their roles.
Thanks for the comment. I would agree!
Servant leadership is not an oxymoron. The purpose of a leader is to serve in the interests of those led, ideally towards a common goal. You need to remove associated connotations around the word "servant" to understand it is more than the associated stereotype.
