21: Reflections on Leadership and Membership

Steps
Servant leaders are focused on service to others. Servant leadership begins with a vision for

towards
providing a resource such as employment, public service or education and requires leaders to be
optimists with empathy for people in many types of situations. Servant leaders identify complex
problems and are able to implement workable solutions in a timely fashion by planning ahead. To
invoke the words of American author Garrison Keillor, they “do good works.”

Servant leadership addresses the responsibilities and relationships between parents and
children, educators and students, employees and customers, and investors and shareholders. It entails
placing the needs of others at the forefront of every organization, institution, business, agency,
department, and group.

Servant leadership is heavily influenced by the Christian faith. All Christians are called to be
servants, even when you are called to be a leader. In order to be a leader, you had to be a good and
obedient servant in order for God to call you higher in ministry. Jesus showed a great example of
servant leadership when he washed the feet of the disciples. He also showed us that we need to put
aside our personal gain and makes sacrifices to fulfill the needs of others. You have other that will
would climb up the ladder and only motivate themselves and not help others. This is something that
Jesus did not demonstrate throughout his ministry.

To model yourself as a leader from a servant leadership approach, self-awareness is important.


You have to know your own strengths and weaknesses, what inspires you, what motivates you, and
how you relate to others. This will allow you to give more of yourself to others when it comes to
relationships as this will build up your self-esteem and confidence. Emotional intelligence allows you to
evaluate others' emotions as well as your own. As a result, you understand yourself, your goals,
intentions, responses, and behavior. This also led to understanding others and their feelings. Being
able to understand other people's feelings mean that you care about their values and beliefs, even
when some of theirs do not agree with your own (this is an empathy characteristic of servant
leadership). It do not matter on the religion but no how we treat others in general. Our beliefs may be
from a religion but we are given free will on how we treat others. If you are able to put self aside and
help others, you will be showing an example to others and will follow you and even inherit your ways.
