In this episode of Blessed and Bossed Up, we continue our book club discussion on Leadership as an Identity: The Four Traits of Those Who Wield Lasting Influence by Crawford Loritz. We dive into Chapter 12, The Dignity of Serving, where we explore what it truly means to lead with a servant’s heart. Tatum shares key takeaways, personal reflections, and challenges us to evaluate whether we take pride in serving others or if ambition has unknowingly led us away from the humility Christ calls us to.

Through biblical examples—such as Jesus washing the disciples’ feet—this episode challenges us to reframe our perception of servanthood, ensuring that we don’t prioritize tasks over people but instead reflect Christ’s example of leadership.

Key Points:

• Servanthood is often misunderstood but is a core trait of godly leadership.
• Many leaders unintentionally place higher value on their position than on their responsibility to serve.
• Jesus’ example in John 13 teaches us that true leadership is about humility, love, and valuing others.
• The importance of maintaining dignity in leadership and how it impacts those we lead.
• Practical ways to implement a servant-leader mindset in business, ministry, and everyday life.

Reflection Questions:

1. Do you take pride in serving others, or do you see it as a means to an end?
2. How can you shift your perspective to view servanthood as dignified rather than burdensome?
3. What specific ways can you serve better in your leadership roles?
