"Whoever wishes to become great among you shall be your servant..." With these words, Jesus shattered an ancient culture`s standard of leadership... and if we in the modern world take them to heart, our ideas about leadership styles, models and methods will likewise be turned around. But how do we reach for this benchmark of servant leadership? In Compassionate Leadership, Ted Engstrom and Paul Cedar share their thoughts about the example Jesus modeled as a servant leader and invite younger leaders to learn with them as they examine His guiding legacy. Instead of discussing power, management and organization, their attention is focussed on Jesus` habits of generosity, believing in people, meeting needs, encouraging friends, getting excited about good things that happen to others and challenging people to draw close to God. These are the steps to compassionate service... and compassionate leadership.
