The Lord does not condone leaders who desire to lead those they have dominion over in a way that would be considered heartless, or selfish. A true leader is one who is willing to give all he has in order to lift and teach and save the ones he leads.

John 13:1–17; Luke 22:24–30; Mark 10:43–45. The Savior Taught the Apostles about Leadership

1. Study John 13:1–17; Luke 22:24–30; Mark 10:43–45. Write a paragraph or two about how the application of these teachings makes leadership in the Church of Jesus Christ different from what the world usually describes as leadership.
• The world tends to think that if you are a leader it means that you are set up above those who you lead. That it will put you in such a position that you will most likely never have to do anything for yourself and others will answer to your every demand. They tend to think that a leader has power over them and if the do anything contrary to what the leader says, they may be condemned to an awful punishment. The Savior said a leader is something much different. He stated that a leader should be one who not only has been designated to lead, but more over is one who has been ordained to serve. A true leader will put the will of those he leads far ahead of his own will, so long as it is in line with the true and correct principles we know. Never is a leader supposed to be one who has unrighteous dominion over those he leads.
2. Write a paragraph or two about a time when one of your Church leaders or someone in the scriptures served and led in the way Jesus Christ taught.
• Thomas Monson, and all of his counselors and the Apostles are ones who are a shining example of what true leadership should be. There lives work is solely set up to be committed to the service of their Lord, His Church, and all those who fall within the curtain of their callings, which is all the Earth. They never ask for anything from the church other than that we are willing to heed there counsel as counsel from the Lord.
