I have observed many different leadership styles throughout the years, especially during my time serving in the Marine Corps. We all have our own style, but the most effective is one that leads by example.
When you set the right example people will follow you. The old adage “Don’t do as I do, do as I say do” has the opposite effect. If you are leading and no one is following, you may need to review and revise your leadership style.
Jesus is the perfect leader and he teaches us the way. He set the example for us to follow. There is none greater and no other example needed for me! What about you?
John 10:14-16 (NLT) - “I am the good shepherd; I know my own sheep, and they know me, just as my Father knows me and I know the Father. So I sacrifice my life for the sheep. I have other sheep, too, that are not in this sheepfold. I must bring them also. They will listen to my voice, and there will be one flock with one shepherd.”
