Quote by Spencer W. Kimball
Jesus said several times, Come, follow me. His was a program of do what I do, rather than do what I say. His innate brilliance would have permitted him to put on a dazzling display, but that would have left his followers far behind. He walked and worked with those he was to serve. His was not a long-distance leadership. He was not afraid of close friendships; he was not afraid that proximity to him would disappoint his followers. The leaven of true leadership cannot lift others unless we are with and serve those to be led.
Summary
This quote highlights the leadership style of Jesus and his emphasis on leading by example rather than simply instructing others. Instead of relying solely on his intelligence and dazzling displays, Jesus chose to walk and work alongside his followers, establishing close relationships and serving them. Jesus believed that true leadership requires personal connection and proximity to those being led, as it is through this closeness and service that leaders can truly inspire and uplift others.
