Last week I shared with you 15 characteristics of a servant leader from Roy Lessin’s daily devotional, Meet Me in the Meadows.
Today I want to share the rest of the list for your consideration:
16. He is efficient, but not at the cost of others.
17. His life in order.
18. Jesus is his audience.
19. He knows how to bear injustice.
20. He loves the truth.
21. His goal is to know God, and make Him known to others.
22. He is not satisfied if he doesn’t give his best.
23. He is an optimist, not a pessimist.
24. His greatest passion is Jesus.
25. He delights in giving.
26. Others say of him “That is how my God is.”
27. He doesn’t exploit others.
28. He respects other servants.
29. He is always learning.
30. His convictions are firm, although he can be flexible.
31. He loves being nothing.
Leadership guru and author, Ken Blanchard says this about servant leadership:
Servant-leader ship is all about making the goals clear and then rolling your sleeves up and doing whatever it takes to help people win. In that situation, they don’t work for you, you work for them.
That sure describes a servant leader. By the way … how are you doing at becoming a servant leader. Is there something on this new list that you can work on this week?
Thanks for joining me on this journey as together we READ GROW LEAD.
