How to Lead Like Jesus in Your Business
Let’s break down these four kingdom leadership principles so you can apply them to your business and start leading with more love, wisdom, and confidence.
Know Your People Well
- ✦ Leadership isn’t just about the work—it’s about the people. Proverbs 27:23 reminds us to “know well the condition of your flocks.”
- ✦ Real-life example: Nelson Mandela was an incredible example of this. He didn’t just lead—he cared deeply about everyone, from his closest advisors to the person pouring his tea.
Speak Life and Encourage
- ✦ Your words have the power to build up or tear down. Proverbs 15:4 says a soothing tongue is a “tree of life,” and encouragement can change everything.
- ✦ Real-life example: Truett Cathy of Chick-fil-A built his company on positive communication and making people feel valued.
Seek Wise Counsel
- ✦ Great leaders don’t go it alone. Proverbs 11:14 shows us the power of having wise advisors.
- ✦ Real-life example: David Green, founder of Hobby Lobby, credits much of his success to seeking guidance from mentors and through prayer.
Lead Through Serving
- ✦ True leadership is about serving others, just as Jesus modeled in Matthew 20:26-28.
- ✦ Real-life example: John Maxwell’s teachings on servant leadership remind us that it’s not about how many people serve you but how many people you serve.
Actionable Advice From This Episode
- Spend time really getting to know your team—what’s happening in their personal lives, what motivates them, and how you can support them?

- Build a network of trusted mentors and advisors to help guide your decisions in business and life.
- Be intentional about serving your team. Look for ways to support them that go beyond their job description.
- Make it a habit to study leadership principles from both scripture and experts like John Maxwell.
