Summary

Basis of good leadership and
governance
Proverbs 11:14
Where no counsel is, the people fall, but in the
multitude of counsellors, there is safety.

Basis of good leadership and
governance
Matthew 20:25-28
So Jesus called them all together and said, “You know
that the rulers of the heathen have power over them
and the leaders have complete authority. This however
is not the way it shall be among you. If one of you
wants to be great, he must be the servant of the rest;
and if one of you wants to be first, he must be your
slave – like the Son of Man, who did come to be
served, but to serve and to give his life to redeem many
people.”

Basis of good leadership and
governance
John 13
I am telling you the truth; no slave is greater than his
master and no messenger is greater than the one who
sent him. Now that you know this truth, how happy you
will be if you put it into practice!
