In healthy spiritual maturity each of us will function as both leaders and followers. Circumstances will dictate. The Spirit will enable and give grace.
People follow a servant-leader because they have seen that servant-leader consistently put the welfare of others before herself or himself.
“Leadership” is not command authority (excousia) — only Jesus has that. “Leadership” is founded in the quality of Christ-likeness demonstrated authoritatively (as in source and origin) in the thoughts, words and actions of the individual in relationship with his or her peers.
