Mark 10:41 – 45 (NIV)
41When the ten heard about this, they became indignant with James and John.
42Jesus called them together and said, "You know that those who are regarded as rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their
high officials exercise authority over them.
43Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, 44and whoever wants to be first must be slave of all.
45For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many."

Initiating Servant-First Leadership
means finding a balanced “Position of Power” in your leadership.
Ask yourself two crucial questions:
1. As a follower of Jesus, how has that impacted my leadership and influence with others?
2. If I didn’t have a title and position, would people follow my lead?

Jim Collins – Good to Great and the Social Sector, p.12-13.
“If I put a loaded gun to your head, I can get you to do things you might not otherwise do, but I’ve not practiced leadership; I’ve exercised power.
True leadership only exists if people follow when they have the freedom not to.
If people follow you because they have no choice, then you are not leading.”

A Different Kind of
Leadership

“To be a lone chief atop a pyramid is
abnormal and corrupting.”
(p. 76)
![Page 15: Serving Together: Initiating Servant-First Leadership Mark Siegrist, M. Div., M.A. Director of Education Denver Rescue Mission January 2015](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022103004/56649ce35503460f949aea6d/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
“None of us is perfect by ourselves, and all of us need
the help and correcting influence of close colleagues…
![Page 16: Serving Together: Initiating Servant-First Leadership Mark Siegrist, M. Div., M.A. Director of Education Denver Rescue Mission January 2015](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022103004/56649ce35503460f949aea6d/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
…When someone is moved atop a pyramid, that person no longer has colleagues, only subordinates.
![Page 17: Serving Together: Initiating Servant-First Leadership Mark Siegrist, M. Div., M.A. Director of Education Denver Rescue Mission January 2015](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022103004/56649ce35503460f949aea6d/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
…Even the frankest and bravest of subordinates do not talk to their boss in the same way that they talk
with colleagues who are equal…
![Page 18: Serving Together: Initiating Servant-First Leadership Mark Siegrist, M. Div., M.A. Director of Education Denver Rescue Mission January 2015](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022103004/56649ce35503460f949aea6d/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
…Normal communication patterns become warped. The pyramidal structure weakens information links, dries up channels of honest feedback…

…This creates limiting chief / subordinate relationships that, at the top, can seriously penalize the whole organization.”– Robert Greenleaf
![Page 20: Serving Together: Initiating Servant-First Leadership Mark Siegrist, M. Div., M.A. Director of Education Denver Rescue Mission January 2015](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022103004/56649ce35503460f949aea6d/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
When Jesus drew in the sand it’s my personal opinion that he wasn’t drawing org-charts.
When it came to people, I really don’t believe that Jesus thought in pyramids, organizational structures, and who-answers-to-who…

The Pool of Shared Meaning is the Birthplace of Synergy
“Not only does a shared pool help individuals make better choices, but since the meaning is shared, people willingly act on whatever
decisions they make … with both unity and conviction.”
(P. 25)

Master First Model of Leadership“The Kevin & Chris Case”
We want to focus on the awkward relationship that may exist between a master and servant … a boss and subordinate.

Crucial Conversations, p. 20-21.
Group Discussion
1. In what ways did the “Power-Pyramid” of master / servant help or hinder this crucial conversation among collogues?
2. What did Kevin do to ease the tension and move the conversation forward?
3. What could Chris have done (short-term and long-term) to create a safer setting of trust to allow more honest dialogue?

“The great leader is seen as servant first, and that simple fact is the key to his greatness.” (p. 21)
![Page 37: Serving Together: Initiating Servant-First Leadership Mark Siegrist, M. Div., M.A. Director of Education Denver Rescue Mission January 2015](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022103004/56649ce35503460f949aea6d/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
In his book, Good to Great, Jim Collins substitutes “personal humility” for “servant first” when he says,
“Level 5 leaders channel their ego needs away from themselves and into the larger goal of building a great company … their ambition is first and foremost
for the institution, not for themselves.”
(P. 21.)

Initiating Servant-First Leadership
means making a leadership change by moving from a Master First Model to Servant First Model.
Ask yourself two crucial questions:
1. As a follower of Jesus, am I willing to give up my position of “Mastering-Over-Others” so I can better serve those that God
has called me to lead?
2. To me, what does it mean to be a Servant First Leader?

Mark 10:41 – 45 (NIV)
41When the ten heard about this, they became indignant with James and John.
42Jesus called them together and said, "You know that those who are regarded as rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their
high officials exercise authority over them.
43Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, 44and whoever wants to be first must be slave of all.
45For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many."

Win / Lose ThinkingGroup Discussion:“The Greta Case”
We want to focus on the difference between leading from “Win / Lose Thinking” and “Win / Win Thinking.”
Win / Lose Thinking is driven by the awkward relationships that are created in a master and servant
… boss and subordinate employee relationship.

Win / Lose ThinkingGroup Discussion:“The Greta Case”
1. Is this conversation grounded in Win / Win …or… Win / Lose thinking? …And in what ways did this thinking hinder or help in this crucial conversation among collogues?
2. Describe the tension that Win / Lose Thinking creates in our personal and profession relationships.
3. What could Greta and the unnamed manager have done (Short and Long Term) to create a safer setting of trust to allow more honest dialogue?

“Servant Leadership Is Not Driven by
Command and
Control”– Mark Siegrist

Chapter 12: Simultaneous Loose-Tight Properties
“Organizations that live by the loose-tight principle are on the one hand rigidly controlled, yet at the same time allow (indeed, insist on) autonomy, entrepreneurship, and innovation from the rank and file.
They do this literally through “faith” … through value systems…” (p. 318) (1982)
![Page 94: Serving Together: Initiating Servant-First Leadership Mark Siegrist, M. Div., M.A. Director of Education Denver Rescue Mission January 2015](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022103004/56649ce35503460f949aea6d/html5/thumbnails/94.jpg)

Clear the Path
• Leading by Asking … Not Telling!• “Run-Along-Side”
…but not do their job.• Be a source of help, not a barrier.
• Create possibilities for people to succeed.• This is the essence of Servant Leadership.
![Page 96: Serving Together: Initiating Servant-First Leadership Mark Siegrist, M. Div., M.A. Director of Education Denver Rescue Mission January 2015](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022103004/56649ce35503460f949aea6d/html5/thumbnails/96.jpg)
Clear the Path serving leaders say, “You are in-charge… You know what to do … and I’m here
to help you.”This is the opposite of traditional [master]
leadership, which says, “I’m in-charge … and I’m telling you what you need to do for me.”

Initiating Servant-First Leadership means finding a balanced “Release of People”
through “Clear the Path” leadership.
Ask yourself three crucial questions:
1. Is my leadership “clearing the path” and engaging people’s talent … their passion and capacity to the purposes of the organization?
2. Is my leadership building on a strong command and control model or on a collaborative relational model by being a source of help, not a barrier?
3. To me, what are the characteristics of a serving leader?
