Everyday Optimum Leadership

Servant Leadership

Both its biblical and contemporary components

How does it relate to patterns and practices in your life, the marketplace, or in a church? The purpose of this work is to answer these questions and lay out a practical pathway combined with working tools for the reader to use as they journey into their future building upon a servant leadership foundation. Future intentions are determined by present action.

This working definition is a guideline: Practicing servant leadership in my life, the marketplace or in a church is self-giving service with others after the pattern of Christ in order to achieve extraordinary commitment and contributions toward mutually shared goals.

Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus. Phil. 3:13-14 (NKJV)
