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

  1. Spend time really getting to know your team—what’s happening in their personal lives, what motivates them, and how you can support them?

  2. Take a moment each day to speak encouragement over your team. A simple “thank you” or “I see how hard you’re working” goes a long way.

  3. Build a network of trusted mentors and advisors to help guide your decisions in business and life.

  4. Be intentional about serving your team. Look for ways to support them that go beyond their job description.

  5. Make it a habit to study leadership principles from both scripture and experts like John Maxwell.

Scripture Mentioned In This Episode

Proverbs 27:23 (ESV): “Know well the condition of your flocks, and give attention to your herds.”

Proverbs 15:4 (AMP): “A soothing tongue [speaking words that build up and encourage] is a tree of life, but a perverse tongue [speaking words that overwhelm and depress] crushes the spirit.”

Proverbs 11:14 (ESV): “Where there is no guidance, a people falls, but in an abundance of counselors there is safety.”

Matthew 20:26-28 (ESV): “It shall not be so among you. But whoever would be great among you must be your servant, and whoever would be first among you must be your slave, even as the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”
