Lead like Jesus: direction, focus, and never too busy
- What does it mean to lead like Jesus, and how should that shape everyday life in family, work, and ministry?
The hosts name characteristics of Jesus as a leader: a leader must be going somewhere and have people following — Jesus knew where he was going and kept rolling calmly despite the rabble; he was focused and purposeful (everything leading to the Great Commission); and he never said 'I'm too busy for you,' stopping for the needs in front of him even as Luke's gospel shows him journeying to Jerusalem from chapter 9 to chapter 19. Corporate leadership books are dismissed as selling people on their corporate jobs.
