"Jesus called them together and said, 'You know that those who are regarded as 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 slave of all. For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as  ransom for many.'"
(Mark 10:42-45)


Servant Leadership
 
Servant leadership requires you to be a servant first and a leader second.

Servant leadership is not a skill but an attitude, not a behavioral technique but a life-long commitment. The best example of servant leadership is found in Jesus Christ. Because He is the ultimate example of a servant leader, we should serve like Jesus and lead like Jesus.

Practically speaking, servant leadership puts the interest of others at the center of all decision-making processes. We then ask ourselves:
Robert K. Greenleaf, the founder of the modern servant leadership movement, introduced the term of "servant leadership" and articulated it in the following 11 characteristics in which servant leadership may be cultivated.
 

To be an effective missional business entrepreneur, a businessman or businesswoman must learn about servant leadership and apply it rigorously to day to day business practices.
