Reading through the Kings and Chronicles, as well as rest of the Bible...one can observe various leadership styles. Some of the leaders sought council, help from others, while others did everything on their own...some more autocratic, others-more servant hood or democratic...

This article talks about by Indeed speaks to 10 common leadership styles..there are other articles as well to look up on the web...ones you can actually take and be evaluated for your particular skills. No all of us see ourselves as leaders, but as servers or even slaves at times... so it is good to see the various ways God as gifted us and how we fit together as part of the Body of Christ...He knew us before we were formed, saw us in the womb...

If you look at these styles, then look around at the ones we have the opportunity to work with, we can understand ourselves and others a bit more...what are our motivations, our ways of working, communicating, interfacing, etc....some add grit to our polishing, while others add smooth and shine...just as we do to those around us...

All add beauty to the body and should help us become more unified...as we work together....

And while it is interesting to see how we function together, our ultimate goal is to serve wholeheartedly the One who came to serve us, the Lord Jesus Christ...to be unified with Him...thank YOU...

Isaiah spoke of the coming servant...

Aware of this, Jesus withdrew from that place. A large crowd followed him, and he healed all who were ill. He warned them not to tell others about him. 

This was to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah: “Here is my servant whom I have chosen, the one I love, in whom I delight; I will put my Spirit on him, and he will proclaim justice to the nations. He will not quarrel or cry out; no one will hear his voice in the streets. A bruised reed he will not break, and a smoldering wick he will not snuff out, till he has brought justice through to victory. In his name the nations will put their hope.”

Matthew 12:15-21

45 For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”

Mark 10:45 

26 But you are not to be like that. Instead, the greatest among you should be like the youngest, and the one who rules like the one who serves. 

27 For who is greater, the one who is at the table or the one who serves? Is it not the one who is at the table? But I am among you as one who serves.

Luke 22:26-27

You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh; rather, serve one another humbly in love. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit. Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying each other.

Galatians 5:13,22-23,25-26
