Leadership 360

on Wednesday 30 July 2014





There are lots of lay definitions given when it comes to the topic (Leadership).  Attempts to touch the nucleus of leadership have proven futile in my opinion with the lay, secularized definitions. But some 2000 years ago, a personality transverse the surface of the earth whose life-style and the mode of operations, has touched even beyond the prefect Leadership.  This man is Jesus Christ. He was the precise and concise of the definition. Jesus Christ was a leadership 360.

This short article which would be a series, gives you an emphatic definitions of leadership based on the persona of JESUS CHRIST, and his works on earth. 

 He not only epitomizes leadership, but equally has become unto us a standard.
In John 14:6; he defined leadership as the WAY, TRUTH and THE LIFE.
Leadership as the WAY, he by nature emphasized is the path-way/ direction for the led to follow. And in the absence of leadership there is no way/direction.

Leadership is the life-wire to the survival of any group/ organization. Without leadership; the group is dead, and the only way by getting to the live-wire is telling the TRUTH.
John 14:6; crowns leadership as the only way to meeting the goals and aspirations of a group/ organization, without leadership; there is no other way.
“No one gets to the father, except through me”

In John 10:11; Christ defines leadership as DEATH. By death, I don’t mean physical death. It is about foregoing every personal eccentric pleasure for the welfare of the group/ organization led.
Forgo the partying, the sleep and whatever and channel all ones strength into the group’s survival.

In John 10: 14; leadership is being sensitive to the plight of your follower-ship.
The word is Jesus Christ per the description given us by John 1:1. Therefore, if the word which is Jesus Christ is light, and we are focusing on Jesus Christ leadership, then, leadership is supposed to be the light.

If darkness is not able to comprehend the light, leadership (light) is supposed to triumph all troubles of darkness.

Psalm 119: 105; leadership is supposed to be the light that shines, and lightens the path of darkness of its followers.Follower-ship presumably are faced with a lot of challenges which are the darkness. Therefore, Leadership is to be the light the brightens all these darkness.

Finally, leadership is everything that the follower-ship suffers. Whether the followers succeed or fail, it is dependent on the leadership. John 1:3.
