John 13:1-17, Luke 22:24-30, Mark 10:43-45; The Savior Taught the Apostles about Leadership

Leadership in the Church is very different from leadership in the world. In John 13 it talks about how Jesus washed His apostles feet, this teaches us that to be a good leader we need to not raise ourself above others and serve those that we lead. In the world we are taught that as leaders we are superior to others and that the people we lead are to serve us, this is completely wrong. In Luke 22:24-30 Christ teaches us that as leaders we are to we are to serve those that we lead and that we are to follow the Lord. In the world we are taught that as a leader we should be served and that we should do what we think is best and not turn to the Lord in our decisions. In Mark 10:43-45 it teaches us that as leaders we are to mister unto all and follow the example of the Greatest of All, Christ. Like mentioned before we are taught that as a leader we should be served but in the Lord's way it is completely the opposite.
I have had the opportunity to serve in many presidencies and I have learned many things about leadership and how to be the type of leader that we should be. During many presidency trainings we have reviewed the story of Jesus washing His disciples feet and talked about how we should follow the example of service that He set for us of how to be a good leader. My young women's president my senior year of high school was an amazing example, she would put hours and hours of her own time into planning activities for us and doing all that she could to be sure that we knew that she loved us and wanted us to be successful. She is an incredible example of Christ-like leadership in my life.
