Abstract

Christian SLHRM entails making disciples. Hence, a foundational element of leadership DNA is developing subordinates, promoting the fulfillment of their purpose and calling. Several key character elements are at the center of this approach. The first is humility, in which we voluntarily step back and “decrease” so others can “increase” (excel) (John 3:30), equip our subordinates to exceed our capabilities and do greater things (John 14:12), and endow others with greater degrees of power and influence or a “double portion” of God’s spirit (2 Kings 2:9). In essence, we are obeying God’s command to promote the interests of others (Philippians 2:4), esteem others greater than ourselves (Philippians 2:3), and bear each other’s burdens in love (Galatians 6:2). By following these biblical principles, the leader learns how to love employees from God’s perspective. This entails providing discipline and corrective feedback in a fashion that provides hope and encouragement. Hence, the leader needs to communicate clearly his or her appreciation and that they are pleased, but not satisfied, with the employee’s performance given their great potential. Servant leaders make themselves dispensable, while empowering others. They help others unbury talents and use them appropriately.
