Welcome!
I’m Bub Kuns, and today we’re talking about the virtue of leadership.
According to the organization Goodhire, “82% of American workers said they would potentially quit their job because of a bad manager.” (Horrible Bosses: A Survey of the American Workforce. GoodHire, 2021) In other words, few people want to follow a bad leader in the workplace. And, truth is, most people don’t want bad leadership anywhere else either — in politics, in the church, or in the home.
Jesus modeled what a good leader is when, in John 13, He washed his disciples’ dirty feet — the job only a servant typically did. Jesus demonstrated that humbly serving those you lead is part of being a great leader. And as we humbly serve those under our influence, they will eagerly follow.
As theologian John Stott said, “Leaders have power, but power is safe only in the hands of those who humble themselves to serve.” (John R. W. Stott, “The Call of Christ to Leadership”, Cru.org, pp. 2-3)
Now what other virtue should be important to believers? We’ll discuss that another time.
