Last Monday, our Membership Development team brought in a leadership speaker named John Norlin. His overall message encouraged us to be servant leaders. When he explained the servant leadership triangle that you see here, he explained it from top to bottom.
Our goal at the beginning of this meeting was to learn how to be better leaders. He explained that in order to earn leadership, we must build influence. This influence allows us to earn leadership in others' eyes. To build influence, we need to partake in service and sacrifice (sacrificing our time to serve others in everyday situations). For anyone to want to partake in this, they must have love for others on some level. John told us about 'agape' which is the Greek name for 'love by choice.' He explained that we have to choose to love others and serve them even in the face of difficulty or opposition. Finally, we need a will to make these choices on a daily basis. Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to stick to them when faced with challenges. He explained that this will is gained when we have intentions followed by actions; intentions without actions mean nothing in the end. Through these steps John showed us how we can earn leadership by putting others before ourselves.
