Ten Characteristics of Servant Leadership
Inspiration from Biblical Leaders

 

Acknowledgments

I am deeply thankful to:

• Ward Fleri, my former manager, for getting me interested in servant leadership, and inviting me to attend the certification program of the San Diego Leadership Initiative.
• The teachers of the certification program, who freely gave of their time and talents to share the passion they have for serving others.
• My mentors for this project, Dawn Beintema and Eric Kaufmann for their valuable and much appreciated guidance.
• My fellow students of the certification class, and in particular my "study buddy" Bruce Doyle.
• The excellent online Bible resources of the Bible Gateway at http://bible.gospelcom.net/.
• The outstanding Bible software package e-Sword, written by Rick Meyers, and made freely available online at http://www.e-sword.net/.
• My wife Michele, for believing in me and being a constant encouragement, and for letting me devote the many hours it took to research and write this essay.

Above all, I am eternally grateful to my God and Father, who created me and molded me into who I am, and to whom alone belongs all glory.

~~~  Soli Deo Gloria  ~~~
