6 Next Step to Lead Like Jesus Tool 1 - Lead Like Jesus Readiness Exam Questions of the Heart Do you love me? Do you trust Me? Will you serve Me be serving others? Do you believe that I will always love you regardless of your performance or opinion of others? Are you willing to set aside instant gratifications, recognition, and power to honor Me by doing the right thing?
7 The Heart of the Servant Leader Your Heart s EGO Edging God Out or Exalting God Only?
8
9 Next Step to Lead Like Jesus Tool 1 - Lead Like Jesus Readiness Exam Questions of the Head Do you see your leadership as a season of service and stewardship? Do you have a compelling vision to lead your organization and a strategy to serve and help your people live according to that vision?
10 PRIDE Pride centers on the promotion of self. Romans 12:3 FEAR The other dynamic of Edging God Out is fear.
11 The Heart of the Servant Leader The Twelve Steps in Leading Like Jesus 4. I have made a search and fearless inventory of my leadership motives, thoughts, and behaviors that are inconsistent with Servant Leadership. 5. I ve admitted to God, to myself, and to at least on other person the nature of my leadership gaps when I behave in always that do not make Jesus proud. 6. I am entirely ready to have God remove all character defects that have created gaps in my leadership.
12 The Heart of the Servant Leader The Twelve Steps in Leading Like Jesus 7. I humbly ask God to remove my shortcomings and to strengthen me against the pride and fear temptations of recognition, power, greed, and fear. 8. I have made a list of individuals whom I may have harmed by my EGO driven leadership and am willing to make amends to them all. 9. I will make direct amends to such people whenever possible, unless doing so would injure them or others.
13 The Heart of the Servant Leader The Twelve Steps in Leading Like Jesus 10.I will continue to take personal inventory regarding my leadership role; and when I am wrong I will promptly admit it. 11.By engaging the disciplines of solitude, prayer, and study of the Scriptures, I will seek to align my Servant Leadership efforts with what Jesus modeled and to constantly see ways to be a servant for and a leader second with the people I encounter in my leadership responsibilities. 12.Having had a heart attack regarding the principles of Servant Leadership, I will carry this message to other leaders and practice them in all my affairs.
14 Next Step to Lead Like Jesus Lead Like Jesus Readiness Exam Questions of the Hands Are you willing to seek to understand by listening and sorting what you hear with service in mind rather than self? Are you willing to lead and learn from people who are different, think differently, look differently, and are older or younger than you? Are you willing to honor all work honestly performed as sacred? Are you ready to admit when you make a mistake in the way you treat the people you lead, and apologize?
15 THE FOUR LEVELS OF CHANGE Knowledge Attitude Behavior Relational/Organizational behavior
16 WHY IS CHANGE SO HARD?
17 The Seven Dynamics of Change: ONE You will feel awkward-ill at ease and self-conscious. Strategy: Tell people what expect and help them sustain the new behavior.
18 The Seven Dynamics of Change: TWO You will feel alone even if someone else is going through the same change. Strategy: Structure activities that create involvement. Help individuals work together.
19 The Seven Dynamics of Change: THREE You will think first about what you have to give up. Strategy: Focus on what you are going to gain. What God has for you.
20 The Seven Dynamics of Change: FOUR You can only handle so much change. Strategy: Set priorities, change one or two things at a time.
21 The Seven Dynamics of Change: FIVE You will be concerned that you don t have enough resources (time, money, skills, etc.). Strategy: Encourage creative problem solving, discuss any needs and concerns. Remember God s resources are unlimited.
22 The Seven Dynamics of Change: SIX You are at different levels of readiness for change. Strategy: Meet people where they are. Some people are risk takers and others take longer to feel secure.
23 The Seven Dynamics of Change: SEVEN If the pressure to change is taken off, you will revert back to old behavior. Strategy: Keep focused on why the change was important.
24 TWO PARTS OF AN APOLOGY PART ONE A good apology STARTS with: Surrender, the focus on self and that YOU did something wrong. PART TWO A good apology ENDS with: Integrity, reach out to the other person. COMMIT not to repeat the actions. I M SORRY
