Happy Monday & welcome to Monday’s Online School of Leadership!

I’m enjoying our time together as we discuss and discover leadership from a servant’s perspective.  If this is your first time with us, check out Session One: “The Best Kept Leadership Secret” by reading Part 1Part 2, and Part 3 .

Last week I began Session 2 – The Power of Being a Servant-Leader. If you haven’t read it, you can do so HERE.  Friday’s session ended with me sharing the consequences of not having a servant-leader attitude.  Again, if you haven’t read it, you can CLICK HERE and read it NOW.  Today, let’s take a look at David’s heart – the right attitude towards servant-leadership.

A Servant-Leader has a Different Heart Attitude

By contrast David is someone who breathed and lived a servant- leader attitude. Even when he faced Goliath as a puny shepherd boy he led with his heart. In taking out the giant he would be serving his nation.

A servant-leader understands that the right heart attitude is vital to achieving success. In the Psalms, David constantly asked God to search his heart and grant him wisdom.

By being a servant-leader David built up an army of loyal followers. David rarely thought he was entitled to special privileges. David never sought to elevate himself, instead it happened naturally. This is the influence that results from a servant-leader heart attitude.

A servant-leader is someone who is secure in themselves. Success is often not as a result of the individual’s talents but because of their ability to create a successful team. Like David servant-leaders serve confidently and lead successfully. This is the power of a servant-leader.
