Maxwell said that, you are a leader if you see people following you whenever you look back...

It takes a lot of discipline before you retire from being a follower and lead people. It's hard to follow since from that moment already, you need to do the things that you may sometimes dont feel like doing. That's discipline! Doing something you don't want to do but you should do it anyway because it is the right thing, and it is for your best.

On the other hand, discipline is just one broad issue on this matter. Now let us make it even broader (haha). Leadership is a throne. However, it is your choice if you would sit on it or offer it to someone who needs to be benefitted out of it. Am i making it too complicated? What i am trying to point out is the the true kind of leadership that everyone of us should consider. This is SERVANT LEADERSHIP.

If you want to lead, you need to serve..

Leading is serving..

Whoever would be first among you must be servant of all.
(Mk 10:42-44; Mt 20: 25-28)

I believe in the style of leadership that Jesus did. He was the greatest servant leader i've ever known! It is He, who is the reason why even 2000 years have passed, many still believe in His words. It is He who has discipled 12 effective apostles, who have later on established Godly and incomparable servant leadership. You and I are the product of the work of Jesus, the son of God.

If not because of Jesus courage to lead, You and i would not have been aware of the good news. All of us are walking astray. That inspires me!

God has made a good model out of Lord Jesus.

Clothing himself with apron of humility and serve those who are in need; then putting on the towel around His waist to wash His disciples' feet, all these and more, Jesus did to show us all the RIGHT WAY TO SERVE AND LEAD.

I have been in the ministry for just a year or so and I am so thankful to God that He has changed my perspective regarding leadership.

Before, it was all me and my chair. I lead and as i accomplish things, all the credits and badge are "attached" unto my arm.

Such selfish and domineering acts were little by little crashed. I have understand the serving roles of a leader.

Servant leadership does not negate accountability nor responsibility. The service comes from the heart, and it is all out of compassion for the ones we are serving. We lead not because we need to, but because want to.

For how many times i tried to give the best shot. I did good for a couple of times. But i never felt the completeness from any work at all.

In the ministry, i have experienced the delight and incomparable fulfillment even with an inch of accomplishment. God does not look at how big or small our service is, what He is about is how big or our heart is when we are doing it.
