Core Components of Jesus’ Leadership Development Model

This final post from our four phases on the Serving Leadership Journey (click here to see our very first post) shares some core components of Jesus’ leadership development model that we use around the world to develop leaders who will lead, love, and serve like Jesus.

Understanding the big picture is important at the organizational level as senior leaders attempt to initiate serving leadership movements within their organization and beyond.

Selection of those who are willing to commit to developing others is key to the whole process. Jesus prayed an entire night before He chose His team (Luke 6:12-13). Furthermore, training takes place over time in phases, so each person being trained has time to absorb the material and practice it before going to the next level. (Our material is designed in such a way that a new layer of understanding is added to each phase. Each phase is similar, with additional concepts added to a familiar framework, building upon the previous training. This allows for those being trained to build upon what they’ve learned and applied, enhancing memory retention and solidifying what matters most in terms of the serving leadership model of Jesus.)

After each phase of training, coaching groups are formed to work through ten lessons designed to complement the concepts covered in that particular phase. After those lessons are covered, the group is ready to move on to the next phase of training.

Movements are started through intentional seed sowing. We believe in going deep with the few to impact the many, always beginning with relationships birthed from those seeds. 

At the Reverb Network we echo Jesus’ words in Luke 10:2, “Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.” Are you prepared to potentially become an answer to your own prayer?

[Next week we will begin a new series, working through the ten coaching lessons of Phase 1—Beginning the Journey.]
