The Road Not Taken
Robert Frost (1874–1963). Mountain Interval. 1920.
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Too many times we who are ambitious to lead agree to whatever it takes to acquire a place of leadership. We naturally pursue places of power, strive to move up the corporate ladder so we can command others and share the perks of position and status. But Jesus' teachings on leadership do not support human efforts and desires. Jesus teaches that we learn to lead by learning to, yes...follow. This is the essence of servant leadership. Servant leaders are nurtured in the Spirit by following Jesus. They are created not in commanding others but in obeying their Commander. In such a mystique, executive arrogance is not possible.
