What does the general public think of as "a leader"?

     A leader usually refered to an authority figure. History is full of authoritarian leaders who held all of the power and decisions. This definition was held up to the 19th century when the term leadership was created. The popular view of leadership revolved around the leader with ability, behaviors, styles, and charisma. When we turn on our electronic tools, we see multitudes of examples that describe a self-centered leader. http://nwlink.com/~donclark/leader/lead_edu.html
     John Dickson from Leadership Journal claims that humility is a vital part of leadership and needs to come back into play. Jesus death on the cross is a perfect example of humility. He was so humble, he willingly took on all our sin and shame before the world. http://www.christianitytoday.com/le/2012/winter/greathumility.html
     Our culture admires humble leaders. The most famous and wise leaders in our history are remembered for thier humbleness among other attributes. While we admire others who choose to be humble, pride pushes us to claim society's definition of an honorable leader; someone who achieves greatness through their good actions. Christ's definition of leadership is more of a servant who desires to glorify Christ by seeking his direction then serving others.
