Leadership and Management Skills in Biblical Principles

Leading with Humility

As leaders and managers, it is important to lead with humility, just as Jesus did. He washed the feet of His disciples, setting an example of servant leadership for us all.

1. Humble yourselves and serve others willingly

2. Seek to understand the needs of those you lead

3. Show appreciation and gratitude for the work of your team

Wisdom and Discernment

Seek wisdom and discernment from God in making decisions and managing your team. The Bible tells us that if any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.

1. Pray for wisdom and discernment in your leadership role

2. Seek advice from trusted mentors or peers

3. Make decisions with an understanding of the long-term impact on your team and organization

Setting an Example

Set an example for your team in your work ethic, integrity, and character. Lead by example and inspire others to follow in your footsteps as you follow in the footsteps of Christ.

1. Strive to live out your values and beliefs in the workplace

2. Show consistency in your actions and words

3. Mentor and disciple those under your leadership
