Because today is Easter Sunday, I thought I’d make a special post about Jesus Christ as a servant leader.

I don’t mean to offend anyone by not discussing leaders of other religions.  But, I am Catholic and today is Easter!

If you study and understand the concepts of servant leadership and the writings in the bible, you’ll see that Jesus was truly the model servant leader.  Jesus demonstrated all the characteristics of servant leadership that we’ve been exploring; relationship building, trust, behavior modeling, strength, etc.

In the book "The Advantage of Leadership", Gary Newell does a masterful job of explaining Jesus’ role as servant leadership as seen through the eyes of one of the twelve disciples.  The chapter is written as a story of what could have been lifted from a diary or journal of the disciple.  I’d encourage you to read this - it's a wonderful work that helps give you the true perspective of servant leadership.

Gary Newell is one of the co-authors of the book "The Advantage of Leadership" as well as the founder and president of Outreach America, Inc, the Veritas Sports Academy, Inc., and The Veritas Institute of Mentoring; all of which are dedicated to helping young people and adults reach their highest leadership potential.

Happy Easter!
