What are some of the challenges of leading like Jesus in an organization? Satan is there to prevent us from leading like Jesus any chance he can get. In fact, Blanchard says that if we choose to live our lives leading like Jesus then we will be challenged and tested daily (Blanchard, 2016). God does not simply want us to be forced to follow him, he wants us to choose to follow him. One of the biggest challenges that servant leaders face is that following God is about following God, and not about pleasing yourself. It can be difficult to remember that God should be the main priority, and sometimes that can lead a leader to do something that they might not normally do. Stepping out of your comfort zone is a big part of servant leadership while remembering that God will always be there to guide you along the way. Another challenge of leading like Jesus is some people will try to convince you to stray from the leadership role and do things your own way. Peer-pressure can be very tricky to overcome; however, remembering that you are being a servant leader to serve God and not your peers can be a great comfort. What are some of the cultural characteristics that can diminish servant leadership, and how can they be overcome? Culturally, being surrounded amongst people who do not believe in God can be difficult to overcome, especially for someone who is new to

servant leadership. The fear of being rejected can be a strong deterrent to bringing up religion to those that will ridicule you for your beliefs. However, God does not want us to only associate to non-believers. God calls us to spread the gospel to everyone and if we only hang out with believers, we are not doing what God calls us to do. Matthew 28:19 states, “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit” (NIV). Provide a list of “best practices” for an organization dedicated to practicing servant leadership in the area of HR policies, training and leadership development, customer service, and decision-making.  Rewarding good performance with bonuses and perks  Paying for college for employees to keep knowledge/skill continuously growing  Identifying and maximizing strengths  Developing a weekly/monthly newsletter (containing new or updated policies)  Hiring an ombudsman to handle conflicts/complaints  Instituting a company retreat  Hiring interns to help grow the company in a cost-effective way as well as keeping the company up to date on current trends.  Social Interactions amongst co-workers
