III. STYLES OF LEADERSHIP
1. Authoritarian: The Leader decides everything without consulting anyone.
2. Participative (Democratic): The leader decides everything after consulting the people who shall be responsible for the implementation of the decision.
3. Delegative (Laissez-Faire): Leader delegates his power to another person who decides everything on behalf of leader.
A good leader uses all three types of styles to provide leadership to his people. Yet some styles are more suitable in a particular time and situations.

IV. CHARACTERISTICS OF CHRISTIAN LEADERSHIP:

- Humility in the use of authority and power entrusted to them

- Trustworthiness
- Willingness to lead out of leadership gifting and ability rather than from their leadership position

- A desire to encourage growth and development in others.

- Integrity to live out Christian principles consistently.

- Future vision is earthed in an understanding of God’s calling

- An active prayer life.
Biblical References:
- Jesus, Mark 10:42-45
- Paul, 1 Corinthians 2:1-4
- Peter, 1 Peter 5:2-3

V. NATURAL LEADERSHIP VS SPIRITUAL LEADERSHIP
In describing Christian leadership we need to recognise that it operates in two realms: the spiritual and the physical.

• Points of Commonality

1. Origin
Both natural leadership ability and spiritual leadership gifting originate in God.

2. Development
Both natural leadership ability and spiritual leadership gifting need development.

3. Recognition
Both natural leadership ability and spiritual leadership gifting need the recognition of others in order to be fully validated. One cannot lead unless there are people to be led, and a leader will, over time, naturally rise to the surface and be recognised as such.

• Points of Divergence

1. Source
While both natural leadership ability and spiritual leadership gifting originate in God, natural leadership does not depend on God. They are self confident, depending on their own ability. The Christian leader however, will be God confident, recognising the need for constant dependence upon Him.

2. Motive
Both natural leaders and spiritual leaders are driven by motive.The natural leader’s motives will be either self-centred or othercentred. Either they will use their ability for their own advancement or they will use it for the benefit of others. While the Christian leader will use their gifting for the benefit of others, their true motive is to benefit God and to advance His purposes.

3. Ambition
Inherent in natural leadership is the desire to lead. The natural leader will see the opportunity to lead and will naturally take the initiative necessary to get things done. They will enjoy the responsibility of leading others and will tend to guard their position of leadership against threat. The Christian leader is, however, content to not lead. They are available to God yet willing to be dispensable and to step aside if another should be appointed to succeed them.

VI. SERVANT LEADERSHIP:
Christian Leadership is essentially servant leadership

1. Servant Leadership is not Self-Centred
The servant leader is not preoccupied with what they gain from leadership. They are not interested in status – they are happy to see others promoted ahead of them. Neither are they concerned with comfort – they willingly undergo hardship and suffering.
- Matthew 20:20-28

2. Servant Leadership is Other-Centred
The servant leader willingly humbles themselves in order to meet the needs of others. They are not too important or dignified to undertake even the lowest of tasks and they do so with no thought of personal gain. – John 13:3-16

3. Servant Leadership is God Honouring
The servant leader follows the example of Jesus and gladly relinquishes status and power for the benefit of others. They do not hang on to leadership because they know it is not a privilege to be contested, but an honour to be conferred.- Philippians 3:3-11

VII. JESUS THE MODEL OF CHRISTIAN LEADERSHIP:
What is Christian leadership? What should a Christian leader be like? There is no finer example for Christian leadership than our Lord Jesus Christ. He declared, “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep” (John 10:11). It is within this verse that we see the perfect description of a Christian leader. He is one who acts as a shepherd to those “sheep” in his care. The shepherd is one who has several roles in regard to his sheep. He leads, feeds, nurtures, comforts, corrects and protects. The shepherd of the Lord’s flock leads by modeling godliness and righteousness in his own life and encouraging others to follow his example. Of course, our ultimate example—and the One we should follow—is Christ Himself.
