Jesus disrupts the normal human power system by declaring:
True leadership is serving others.
True leadership is serving others.
Keys to leading by serving:
* Respect others
Mark 10:42-43a - 42Jesus called them together and said, “You know that those who are regarded as rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their high officials exercise authority over them. 43Not so with you. . .

* Use some elbow grease

* Deepen your humility
“...you’re never going to live this kind of servant life—you’re never going to move out into relationships really trying to serve others rather than trying to use others to build up your self-image—unless there’s a deep humility in you.” Tim Keller (from, Your Main Problem Isn’t Other People)

but to sit at my right or left is not for me to grant. These places belong to those for whom they have been prepared.”

* Yield your will
35Then James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came to him. “Teacher,” they said, “we want you to do for us whatever we ask.”
45For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many. Mark
