Servant
leadership, a contradiction to some, motivated Jesus to wash His disciples’
feet. Myles Munroe, a motivational speaker and business consultant, expounds on
this topic and encourages mentoring in Passing It On: Growing Your Future
Leaders.
Challenging
leaders to build on their legacy, he asserts that it is only in appointing a
successor that they will truly succeed. Rather than waiting until retirement
nears, leaders should identify their replacement early, Munroe says, since
doing so is “the first act of a visionary leader.”
Offering biblical examples of mentoring, Munroe shows that
Jesus prepared Peter and His disciples for the cross by helping them see that
they were to continue His vision. The greatest test for a leader is the
willingness to love, he asserts, seeing this principle as one that guided each
of the biblical mentors in choosing their successor.
Passing It On is an inspiring call to action for any
who desire to become an effective leader in any vocation, including those in
developing nations.
