I shared these principles tonight in our evening sermon. Several people asked for copies so I thought I would share with all. Here's the seven principles of a servant leader. my suggestion is to major on the servant part focusing on Jesus and He will take care of the leadership.
1. Servant leaders humble themselves and wait for God to exalt them.
Luke
14:7-11
2. Servant leaders follow Jesus rather than seek a position.
Mark 10:32-40
3. Servant leaders give up personal rights to find greatness is service to
others.
Mark 10:41-45
4. Servant leaders can risk serving others because they trust that God is in
control of their lives.
John 13:3
5. Servant leaders take up Jesus' towel of servant hood to meet the needs of
others.
John 13:4-11
6. Servant leaders share their responsibility and authority with others to meet
a greater need.
Acts 6:1-6
7. Servant leaders multiply their leadership by empowering others to lead.
Exodus18: 17-23
