Abstract
Character in the everyday world, the world of business and marketing management, or within the word of God is the same. This paper is an attempt to show that there is a direct correlation between the way a leader leads through words and deeds as an example of good character for those they lead. This correlation is shown by comparing a company’s leaders and managements character through Jesus and his great commission to the disciples.

“Thus we see marketing management as the art and science of choosing target markets and getting, keeping, and growing customers through creating, delivering, and communicating superior …show more content…

“Jesus came and told his disciples, “I have been given all authority in heaven and on earth. Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Matthew 28:18-20 (Holy Bible, New Living Translation, 2007) Jesus showed throughout his life leading the disciples that character was doing what was right according to God when faced with any decision or obstacle. He showed the disciples by leading by example, even when crucified on the cross he would not condemn the Lord. The disciples viewed the true character of their leader at the worst of times, just as modern day managers can lead their employees by example when the company may be facing its most difficult of …show more content…

When His great works were spread throughout the world by the disciples people were exposed to the Glory and learned about true character. An example in the modern business world is when first line supervisors can take a company’s code of conduct and present it to the employees under their supervision and be able to explain that upper management not only wrote the code of conduct but have also publically pledged to lead by example and follow the same code of conduct it demands of the

The 10 disciples came from all aspects of society ranging from a ballet dancer to a taxi driver, to a model; but each of the disciples found common ground by the end of the first song (“Prepare Ye the Way of the Lord”) under the teachings of Jesus. By having a diverse group of followers, Schwartz/Tebleak express the notion that anyone with an open mind to Christianity can be attracted to Jesus and similarly that anyone can spread the word of Christianity. Once again, this reinforces the subject matter present in the play, a performance expressing a modern view of the teaching of Christ. As in real life, not all of the characters immediately accept Jesus as a teacher. While subtle, some of the characters show signs of resistance to Jesus’ teachings, such as John the Baptist when attempting to learn the lesson of forgiving one’s enemies.

Is it genuine that servant leadership has such an overwhelming religious hint, to the point that it forgets individuals who don 't interface themselves with certain religious convictions or profound feelings? A quick survey of the surviving writing uncovers that servant pioneers are ordinarily attached to some otherworldly instructing. The dominant part of servant leadership productions has both express and understood associations with the Judeo-Christian religious philosophy, albeit many rising distributions additionally interface servant leadership to other profound instructive exercises. Robert Greenleaf, named as the granddad of servant leadership, was a Quaker, however, drew intensely on Hesse 's Voyage toward the East saturated with old Eastern religious magic and in addition, Carl Jung 's an idea of reluctance. Greenleaf 's conceptualization of servant leadership, accordingly, mirrors an engineered see which blends two discrete philosophical presuppositions and customs.

While continuing to exemplify great leadership, he challenges them to expand their influence through those they lead by reproducing the culture of learning he had initiated with them. Finally, he compels the team to embrace the power of multiplication; releasing those they have mentored to train others also (2 Timothy 2:2). As Scott Wilson indicates, this model of leadership development is not new, but instead is how Jesus equipped his followers to discharge their responsibility to make disciples of

Character, the third, is being virtuous, honorable, and overall good as much as one can. Aristotle believes establishing virtuous character is the key to developing consistently right actions from an individual (Pojmam, 2006). Thus, if a preacher behaves morally and honorable themselves in the way that they share The Gospel, that will create consistent and moral actions

In today’s society, a business must rely on effective marketing skills to remain competitive against one’s rivals. Yet, specifically centering their marketing strategy on a religious affiliation, such as Christianity, is wrong. However, integrating one’s faith into the business is not wrong. Faith integration is the method of combining the Christian faith with other aspects of life including a business (Cafferky, 2012, p. 5). In this case, the owner may decide to be closed of Sunday’s, a day of Sabbath rest (Exodus 35:2) or refusing to offer certain medical insurance coverage, such as the morning after pill, due to their pro-life beliefs (Psalms 139:16).

As described in the Book of Acts, Jesus’ and his Disciples tried to develop interactions with the administrators and high officials of the kingdom. The discipleship of Christ was fully conscious of the powerful socioeconomic structural framework of the empire. From the rulers to aristocracies, to bureaucrats, to landlords, to honorable, to servants and to slaves, each level of society was exerting supremacy over the level underneath. God’s mode of ruler ship that he told his followers to practice was simply contradictory to what had been in practice in Roman Empire. Eventually, it must be taken into account that the Book of Acts does not build a framework of the multiplicities of actions one should participate in as Christ’s supporters, but as an exemplary framework of the obligation to service that should formulate the basis of one’s actions.

Wendy, Thank you for an insightful initial thread on successful leadership. Comparing your reference of Van Dierendonck’s servant-leader characteristics with Greenleaf’s servant-leader characteristics lends credence to both authors’ perspective of what a servant-leader should be. The important aspect that seems to be absent from Van Dierendonck’s and Greenleaf’s assessment of a servant-leader is the fact that the service is grounded in man’s principles and not God’s principles. Instead of just serving others in a leadership capacity, the model that Christ gave is to equip those that a leader leads so that they can be impactful in a leadership role in a later capacity.

Much like how Aeneas put his life in danger to protect his city and rescue his family from Troy, Jesus teaches self-sacrifice, and one’s commitment to their family however, he reinterprets the definition of family and society. Jesus declares: “Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me………..and whoever does not take up the cross and follow me is not worthy of me” (Matthew 10: 37-38). Jesus redefines family to be his disciples that devote their entire lives to God. He refines the ideas of society through the Beatitudes by proclaiming the “blessed” which is the model discipleship. The Beatitudes are part of Jesus’ teachings on paving a path to Heaven through selfless acts and compassion; he quotes: “let your light shine before other, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your father in heaven” (Matthew 5:

He suggests that the leaders in the early church "must be of the highest moral standard in all aspects of life; to expect less is to place the church's reputation and ministry in jeopardy". The leaders should well live according to the Gospel on a daily basis, such as not quick-tempered and not addicted to wine as mentioned in 1:7. Paul's focus seems to be on the character of prospective leaders than the official job description. The repetition of the term “blameless” in the guideline suggests “blamelessness” is an essential qualification for holding a leadership position of the Cretan church. I notice that today's leadership seminars focus on developing leader’s management and inter-personal skills.

Also contributing to the image problems is the lack of maturity exhibited by both Christians and the much larger Christian Church. According to Scripture, the marketplace is the Christian’s mission field, and thereby belongs in the marketplace. Professionals who are Christian, and who lead the Christian life, are living examples of the Christian Faith to non-believers in the marketplace (Kinnaman & Lyons, 2007). However, culture dictates otherwise as many Christians now face disciplinary action for sharing one’s faith in the workplace (Gibbs, 2005). Roadblocks to sharing one’s faith with non-believers are many.

Jesus makes leaders from these untouchables by developing them through education, example, and passion for God. Jesus was thinking about Peter in years to come when He told him that he would deny Him.
