The Foundation of Leadership Servanthood

n the inaugural episode of 'Lead in 10,' host Chris Moore explores the foundational principle of Christian leadership as modeled by Jesus: servanthood. Chris discusses how true leadership is about serving others rather than seeking authority or recognition. Drawing from Matthew 20:25-28, he explains how Jesus' example of humility and service is countercultural and transformative. Chris offers four practical tips for applying servant leadership: inverting the organizational chart, understanding team needs, being the first to sacrifice, and measuring success by the growth of the team. Listeners are challenged to find tangible ways to serve their teams and to prioritize serving over being served, aligning their leadership more closely with the teachings of Christ.
