Psychologists around the globe unanimously agree that we as humans, whether young or old, are always looking for role models and leaders in our lives.
Marilyn Price-Mitchell, a PhD and expert in youth developmental psychology, states that there are five things people look for in influential role models and leaders.
- Passion,
- A set of good moral values,
- A commitment to the community,
- A selfless and accepting individual and
- Someone who can overcome difficult obstacles.
If this is the case then Jesus is the greatest role model and leader we can have because he fulfills all those areas perfectly. And if we ourselves want to be good leaders and role models all we need to do is follow the example of Jesus in those 5 areas. Let Jesus be your example for leadership..
