Manage episode 426612445 series 3386141
In this episode of the Lead On Podcast, Jeff Iorg, president of the Executive Committee of the Southern Baptist Convention, delves into the topic of humility in leadership. He emphasizes that true humility involves using one's position and privileges to benefit others and sacrificing for their needs, exemplified by Jesus Christ. He also explains that humility is not about self-abasement but about seeing oneself as God does and acting accordingly. There are five key reasons humility is crucial: it avoids God's opposition, invites God's exaltation, ensures divine guidance, empowers, and surrounds with God's presence. Iorg further provides practical advice for leaders to develop humility: using their positions to help others, expressing gratitude to colleagues, and celebrating others' successes. By embodying humility, leaders can enhance their influence and impact while aligning with biblical principles.
