This week I will be posting an Ensign article by Spencer W. Kimball. The title is "Jesus the Perfect Leader". Although the article talks about Christ as a leader and how we can emulate that, I feel it applies to what we are learning in class right now.
Here are a few leadership qualities Christ exhibited according to President Kimball. You will see we can apply them to working with special populations.:
1- Jesus was a listening leader.
2- Jesus was patient and loving.
3- Jesus saw sin as wrong, but also saw sin arising from some unmet need.
4- Christ was selfless.
5- Christ was not controlling. He sought the freedom of those who followed him.
6- Christ knew how to involve his disciples in the process of life. He gave them important and specific things to do for their development.
