“Jesus said several times, â€œCome, follow me.â€ His was a program of â€œdo what I do,â€ rather than â€œdo what I say.â€ 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.”
