COT:
I noticed in Israel’s (Jacob’s) life when he was ready to leave Laban he took his wives opinion into consideration. He told them his perspective and listened to theirs. In a time when male leadership was unquestioned and the standard.

Today, male leadership is still necessary, but heavily challenged by our culture. My encouragement to us is to make sure that our leadership is commanded, not demanded. Make sure we receive the role, by our humility and example, rather than take the role by force and aggression.

COT:
Great Leaders are intent on leaving a legacy that will resound to their Groups’ Advantage long after they have gone. Knowing their leadership tenure is limited by human mortality, they get prepared for the expected event of their departure by developing new Leaders. Because they cannot predict the precise time of their departure, they stay ready for the unexpected by ensuring that the Leaders they develop are ready right now instead of sometime tomorrow. Great Leaders are constantly working themselves out of a job.
– Qsource

“But Jesus called them to him and said, “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles Lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them. It shall not be so among you. But whoever would be great among you must be your servant, and whoever would be first among you must be your slave, even as the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.””
‭‭- Matthew‬ ‭20‬:‭25‬-‭28‬
