Leadership Questions

Dr. Heuser posed a very interesting leadership question last night in class for us to ponder:

Is Christian leadership counter-cultural? The majority of us answered yes.

• My answer was yes, because leadership within a "Christian" context calls us to serve those we lead, to love those we lead, to lead not from a position of power but from a desire to serve, and to share leadership
• Others answered yes because to be a Christian leader means primarily to follow Christ - and Jesus was very counter-cultural
• Also, being a Christian leader typically goes against the prevailing cultural value of seeking opportunities to advance one's career
