DEFYING CONVENTIONAL THINKING The concept of LEADERSHIP Jesus introduced is so RADICAL that it demands a (PARADIGM SHIFT FROM THE IDEA THAT FOLLOWERS SEVER LEADERS TO THE IDEA THE LEADERS SERVE THE WORLD. His philosophy of LEADERSHIP DEFIES THE COMTEMPORARY STATUS QUO. By CONVENTIONAL THINKING, the concept of GREATNESS, or LEADERSHIP is: How many people YOU CONTROL? If you are a LEADER, how many people work under you? How many people look to you, how many people worship you? How many people admire you? How many are afraid of you? How many direct reports do you have? How many people are on your payroll? How many people do you influence? ALL these are the OLD concept of GREATNESS. The philosophy of Jesus turns these concepts on their heads. The concept of GREATNESS from the world is, How many people SERVE YOU? HE REVERSES IT: How many people DO YOU SERVE? He bases His idea of LEADERSHIP on COMPLETELY (DIFFERENT) VALUES. YOU CANNOT MEASURE TRUE LEADERSHIP BY HOW MANY PEOPLE SERVE YOU, (BUT BY HOW MANY PEOPLE YOU SERVE.) He says, in essence, and I paraphrase this, [I] DID NOT COME TO BE SERVED, BUT TO SERVE MYSELF TO THE WORLD. Matthew 20:28 JUST AS THE SON OF MAN DID NOT COME TO BE SERVED, BUT TO SERVE, AND TO GIVE HIS LIFE AS A RANSOM FOR MANY.
