Jesus was a listening leader. Because he loved others with a perfect love, he listened without being condescending. A great It is a wise leader or a wise follower who can cope with the “reproof of life.” Peter could do this because he knew that Jesus loved him, and thus Jesus was able to groom Peter for a very high place or responsibility in the ki...
The Savior’s leadership was selfless. He put himself and his own needs second and ministered to others beyond the call of duty, tirelessly, lovingly, efectively. So many of the problems in the world today spring from selfishness and self-centeredness in which too many make harsh demands of life and others in order to meet their demands. This is a d...
Jesus knew how to involve his disciples in the process of life. He gave them important and specific things to do for their develop-ment. Other leaders have sought to be so omnicompetent that they have tried to do everything themselves, which produces little growth in others. Jesus trusts his followers enough to share his work with them so that they...

Conversely, those leaders in history who have been most tragic in their impact on mankind were tragic precisely because they lacked...
One of the great teachings of the Man of Galilee, the Lord Jesus Christ, was that you and I carry within us immense possibili-ties. In urging us to be perfect as our Father in Heaven is per-fect, Jesus was not taunting us or teasing us. He was telling us a powerful truth about our possibilities and about our potential. It is a truth almost too stun...
I make no apology for giving something of the accomplish-ments of Jesus Christ to those who seek success as leaders. If we would be eminently successful, here is our pattern. All the ennobling, perfect, and beautiful qualities of maturity, of strength, and of courage are found in this one person. As a large, surly mob, armed to the teeth, came to t...
