A Servant Leader Will Lead Like Jesus — Serving Others with Compassion, Humility, Caring and Self-Sacrificial Love. In today’s world, leadership is often associated with power, prestige, and personal advancement. But the Bible paints a dramatically different picture of what it means to be a true leader. At the center of Christian leadership stands Jesus Christ, who redefined greatness not as ruling over others, but as serving them. As followers of Christ, we are called to lead not by force or manipulation, but by compassion, humility, caring and self-sacrificial-love.
