Well, hello, Welcome to the second servant leadership video presentation. Let me just give you, there's 3D of these videos. Let me give you kind of a connection between them and among them. The first one we just obviously disgusted biblical foundation. And certainly that foundation is Jesus Christ and his ability to save us and change our lives and to free us from sin. This presentation is going to talk about some of the personal obstacles and application points of servant leadership that we have in our daily lives. The third video, which I'm especially excited about, is going to really try to apply a servant leadership to actual business functions in a real life business company, which I think is very important because sometimes the studies of servant leadership are so syrupy that and kinda out of touch with the real-world that there's really no benefit. So as relates to the third video of this one as well, I really want to get to kind of some of the, the key challenges to being a servant leader in our everyday lives and our everyday professional lives. We can all get excited about empowering people in later life down for them until it comes time to actually do it. And a lot of times I've found that the people that really need to be served or the people sometimes we really don't want to make the time to serve and we don't have compassion on them like Jesus did with the multitude. So let's just, let's start with some basic challenges to servant leadership. I think one is the need for recognition. And this need not be a sense of pride. Like I want people to worship me and really put me on a pedestal. I think there's a more subtle idol of the heart about recognition that pertains to. I just want to know that what I'm doing is going to make a difference. I want to know that my work is accomplishing something meaningful. That should be, by all accounts, a wonderful attitude where it can become an idol is where we begin to identify ourselves with our career and the measurable impacts that we're having on the job that in turn can cause us to be so much workaholics that we don't have time for people. Now biblically, we should know that really doing something meaningful for the Lord is, is that which is eternal and what is eternal people? The word of God and God Himself, those are the things you should be focusing on. So really if we want to make time for that, which is important that we have to look at from an internal perspective. I think another challenge is just being, like I said, a workaholic where we take on so many things. So we fail to, to realize that, that if we don't make time for people just in the business of life, we began to cut out church life. We began to cut out knowing who our neighbors are, that we fail in truly being servant leaders and, and so forth. Another challenge on the job is a little bit of myopia, departmental myopia. It's, it's even on a more fundamental issue of I'm smart and everybody else is an idiot. So we tend to have that attitude, but for God's grace. And so all we see is our perspective. And we're able to articulate our perspective pretty well. So it makes sense to us. So when somebody does something that doesn't jive with our interpretation of reality, we tend to think are there dominant of touch with reality. You take that to the workplace and you're hanging out with your, your team and your department. And you want to know why is this department doing whatever it is they're doing, that doesn't make sense to us. And we really mean while they're doing the same thing, they're different, why is that department doing the things that they're doing doesn't make sense to us. And everybody's got their own little myopic perspective. And then communication breaks down and we forget to care for one another as an organization, we forget to come across those departmental barriers and acknowledge that, hey, we're all in this together, that covenantal perspective. And I think that's very important to realize how that arrogance will but really destroy organizational harmony and a healthy culture. And it'll really make it difficult for departments to work with one another. It takes time and in the scope of a busy day to make time to communicate with other departments, to communicate with employees. This same attitude can be seen in the relationship between the leadership team and the employees in the trenches. Leaders see the big picture. They know all the big picture constraints, the, the, the finances, the budget, the marketing challenges, what's going on with competitors? Meanwhile, employees who don't know all of these things, they do know the details of their job. They sometimes have a better understanding of product defects and strengths and services that need to be improved because they interact with customers. And furthermore, they're more familiar with their own, with their own processes in their own routines more so than, than liters would be. So here's how that arrogance, which is just a part of being a human unless we give our lives the Lord here, so that arrogance destroys servant leadership in an organizational context. But the leaders see resistance from the employees and they say, Why are those stupid employs, disobeying, just do what you're supposed to do and everything will be fine. You don't see the big picture we do. Meanwhile, the employee say it, what was, what were the leaders thinking when they made this rule or this created this initiative? That's totally messes with what we've gotta get accomplish in this context. And so then you've got this back biting going back and forth. Obviously, that is not servant leadership. And so both sides need to serve one another. And that goes back to that covenantal idea of mutual accountability. There needs to be communication leaders. If you're going to be a servant leader, you need to make time to ask questions of your employees. You need to make time to make sure they understand why you're doing the things you're doing. And if you're the employee in the trenches, you need to do the same thing. Put yourself in the leaderships shoes. Assume that they're not idiots. They assume that they've got good reasons for what they're doing. That takes humility. Now, I think there are some biblical attitudes that can help us kind of deal with some of these impediments to servant leadership. I think one is what I would call the Sabbath principle from scripture. In scripture, in the Old Testament, God told the Israelites, you can't work on Sunday on the Sabbath wasn't Sunday was Saturday. Every seventh year. You have to let your fields lie fallow. You can't work them. Imagine if you're a farmer to not work when it's a nice day to work. Imagine not working every seventh year. Sure, That sounds good If you think, well, I have your vacation, but not when you're the one responsible for providing food for your family. In the Lord is basically asking us through the Sabbath principle, to trust him, to trust that he'll meet our needs. And I think as we do everything we can to improve ourselves. You know, you're obviously in a graduate program because you have ambition and goals and you want to do something with your life and you want to live your life meaningfully and accomplished great things. And we want you to be champions for Christ. And all of that is wonderful. But if it's not faith motivated, if it, if it's not the process of holding everything we do with an open hand, then we're really not going to be servant leaders because the work that we're doing becomes an end unto itself. It takes faith to rest. It takes faith to, to not create a culture and atmosphere of workaholism on the job. If you're the leader that is motivated by fear, like a farmer that, oh, I've got to keep working because I don't know when the bad weather's coming versus trust in the Lord. If you have that attitude on the job, your employees will have it. There'll be motivated by fear. And you've been in trouble with the manager and the manager essentially cracking the whip and and asked you to conform. And the reason they're doing that is probably because they're feeling the pressure from their, their leadership team. And so the sphere kind of trickles down from the top to the bottom. Are you going to be part of that? Are you going to trust the Lord and trust it? He'll give you the grace to get done what you need to get done that day. As a younger man, I would often pray Lord, help me to get done all the things that I want to get done. And I was surprised that very rarely did I. I want to get done everything I wanted to. And at first I thought my arrogance, The Lord is not answering my prayers. But then once I remembered, you know, the Lord loves me more than I love myself. I guess I can trust him. He is going to allow me to get done everything I need to get done today. And if I have that attitude, then I can trust him with with my day. What that has done for me is that it does give me a freedom to truly care for people. When someone walks into my office, It's very easy for me to just kinda talk with them. And I'm really doing email because I hate e-mail. I just want to get it done and removed from my life forever for sure that'll never happen. Sure you can relate. And I just kinda wanna give them one look while I'm typing. But I really want to just focus on my typing in. But because as I'm learning to trust the Lord more, I'm learning to realize, Okay, The Lord synthase person across my path. And I'm going to make time for this person and the law is going to give me the grace to get done. Exactly. And only what I need to get done that day. That same attitude has kept me from taking up responsibility that sound like a good idea. And they are, but is it a god idea? And I've, and I'm learning to hold those things with an open hand to trust the Lord. Lord, whatever you want me to do, I'll do whatever you don't want me do. I won't do. I trust that my meaning my identification is found in you and not on myself. So guys, I hope that this is a challenging but a loving admonition for you. You've gotta feel the encouragement from the Lord that he loves you. He's pursuing you. Even through this course. I think that being a servant leader truly is fluorine because it keeps us from being emotionally attached to, to things that shouldn't be idols in their lives. So in the end, it always comes back to Jesus Christ is the Lord of our lives, or is he a domesticated God that we can command to perform tricks for us? It's either one or, ordaining every event of everyday of our lives. And the interruptions that come in the form of people that need help and to be cared for. Is he the author of that or are we in control of our day? Guys? I think there's one other thing I want to point out. Wrap this up. If we try to be in control. One, we're going to fail because we're never in control. That's an illusion. Reader, a slave to center were a servant to Jesus Christ. Because we fail and because we want to be in control, that failure is a constant reminder to us, which causes fear. And that fear causes anger and we're always going to be stressed out. If you're dealing with stress in a job, could it be that you're not fully giving that to the Lord? And when that's not happening, it's hard to love and care for others. Thank you for your time.

Foreword by John C. Maxwell
WHEN KEN BLANCHARD asked me to write the foreword for this wonderful collection of essays about servant leadership, I was thrilled for several reasons. First of all, Ken and I are soul mates. We both have been studying, teaching, and writing about leadership for years. In the process, we have come to the conclusion that the only way to create great relationships and results is through servant leadership. It’s all about putting other people first.
I get a kick when I hear people say “It’s lonely at the top.” To me, if it’s lonely at the top, it means nobody is following you. If that’s true, you’d better get off the top and go where the people are—and then, in my terms, bring them to the top with you.
Ken and I have laughed about how immature people are who think about themselves first. It’s a selfish way to lead. That’s okay when you are a small child; however, it’s not okay when you’re 35, 45, or 55, and you haven’t yet figured out that it’s not about you. We keep on reiterating that when you become a leader, you give up your right to think of yourself first. Servant leadership is about always putting others first.
This is a long-winded way of saying I love this book. Besides my admiration for Ken, another reason I’m excited has to do with the
quality of contributors he has gathered here. I can’t think of many people I admire in our field whom Ken hasn’t talked into participating. While they all have different perspectives, the result is some common themes that truly highlight the tenets of servant leadership in action—not just the principles of what servant leadership is. I must admit that a number of the essays grabbed at my heart and didn’t let go. I know you’ll also find several that particularly resonate with you.
I think you’ll appreciate the way the book is organized into six parts, starting with the fundamentals and elements of servant leadership and ending with first-
person accounts of putting servant leadership to work and how it has dramatically changed organizations for the better. You’ll also love Ken’s personal introductions for each of the authors.
I’m so glad you have picked up this book. Read it, study it, read it again, and apply the wonderful lessons about the power of lifting others up—and, in the process, helping everyone win.

SERVANT LEADERSHIP in ACTION
Introduction Serve First and Lead Second
KEN BLANCHARD AND RENEE BROADWELL
THE WORLD is in desperate need of a different leadership role model. We all have seen the negative impact of self-serving leaders in every sector of our society. Why is that? Because these leaders have been conditioned to think of leadership only in terms of power and control. We think there is a better choice: to lead at a higher level. When people lead at a higher level, they make the world a better place because in addition to results and relationships, their goals are focused on the greater good
