Over at The Zone Gathering (a part of the NCC Online Community) they have a nice weekly piece call the Thursday Leadership Lesson. They are always encouraging and edifying.

This is a part of one of their most recent pieces.

Thursday Leadership Lesson: Developing an Attitude of Service

We are launching into our new series on service, and we begin today at the very beginning– developing an attitude of service in our own lives as leaders. Here is the bottom line: we need to view service as a lifestyle, not a project. If you are like me, there is a tendency to view “service” as an activity to schedule on the small group calendar. And we will definitely talk about service projects and how to bring those into the rhythm of your group life. But real service must take root in the attitude and life of the leader to make any real and lasting impact. We’ve got to throw out our ideas of what we think leadership is and follow Jesus’ example of leadership. We’ve got to obey the most fundamental command of all Christ-followers: “If any of you wants to be my follower, you must put aside your selfish ambition, shoulder your cross daily, and follow me.” That’s what it means to “Be One.”
