5 lições de liderança que Jesus ensinou na Bíblia

Jesus foi o maior exemplo de liderança na história, ensinando com palavras e ações. Seus ensinamentos não apenas moldaram a fé cristã, mas também servem como guia para líderes em todos os contextos.

A seguir, veja cinco momentos em que Jesus ensinou sobre liderança:

1. Liderança com humildade

41-45 When the other ten heard of this conversation, they lost their tempers with James and John. Jesus got them together to settle things down. "You’ve observed how godless rulers throw their weight around," he said, "and when people get a little power how quickly it goes to their heads. It’s not going to be that way with you. Whoever wants to be great must become a servant. Whoever wants to be first among you must be your slave. That is what the Son of Man has done: He came to serve, not to be served—and then to give away his life in exchange for many who are held hostage."

Marcos 10:43

Jesus mostrou que a verdadeira liderança não é sobre status, mas sobre servir aos outros.

2. Importância do cuidado com os liderados

11-13 "I am the Good Shepherd. The Good Shepherd puts the sheep before himself, sacrifices himself if necessary. A hired man is not a real shepherd. The sheep mean nothing to him. He sees a wolf come and runs for it, leaving the sheep to be ravaged and scattered by the wolf. He’s only in it for the money. The sheep don’t matter to him.

João 10:11

Um líder cristão deve se sacrificar pelo bem dos liderados, colocando suas necessidades em primeiro lugar.

3. Liderança com exemplo

12-17 Then he said, "Do you understand what I have done to you? You address me as ‘Teacher’ and ‘Master,’ and rightly so. That is what I am. So if I, the Master and Teacher, washed your feet, you must now wash each other’s feet. I’ve laid down a pattern for you. What I’ve done, you do. I’m only pointing out the obvious. A servant is not ranked above his master; an employee doesn’t give orders to the employer. If you understand what I’m telling you, act like it—and live a blessed life.

João 13:15

Ao lavar os pés dos discípulos, Jesus ensinou que liderar é também ser um exemplo de humildade e serviço.

4. Delegar com confiança

Lambs in a Wolf Pack

1,2 Later the Master selected seventy and sent them ahead of him in pairs to every town and place where he intended to go. He gave them this charge:

"What a huge harvest! And how few the harvest hands. So on your knees; ask the God of the Harvest to send harvest hands.

Lucas 10:1

Jesus confiou em seus seguidores, capacitando-os a levar a mensagem do Evangelho.

5. Amar como fundamento da liderança

11-15 "I’ve told you these things for a purpose: that my joy might be your joy, and your joy wholly mature. This is my command: Love one another the way I loved you. This is the very best way to love. Put your life on the line for your friends. You are my friends when you do the things I command you. I’m no longer calling you servants because servants don’t understand what their master is thinking and planning. No, I’ve named you friends because I’ve let you in on everything I’ve heard from the Father.
