8. The simplest way to grow in teachability is to ask others probing questions about themselves and about yourself. Teachability requires a willingness to be vulnerable—you will hear things about yourself that you won’t want to hear, but that is the necessary price of growth in leadership. In most cases, others will accurately identify your growth areas, so why not acknowledge the truth yourself? "That, however, is not the way of life you learned when you heard about Christ and were taught in him in accordance with the truth that is in Jesus. You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; to be made new in the attitude of your minds; and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness. Therefore each of you must put off falsehood and speak truthfully to your neighbor, for we are all members of one body. (Ephesians 4:20-26)"

10. "Jesus called them together and said, "You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their high officials exercise authority over them. Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be your slave—just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many." (Matthew 20:25-28)" Jesus was very clear that his followers should not adopt the leadership methods of the Roman leaders. Roman power came through position and force of personality. Not so with Christian leaders. We have been chosen by God, called to a life of service and ministry, and commanded to minister in the Spirit, not in the flesh. Jesus calls us to a new way of leading.
