Being able to communicate effectively is the oil in any and all leadership situations. The Christ-centred servant leader’s goal is that the people they lead are able to achieve their full potential. This requires a radically different view of what effective communications means. It becomes focused not on me but the other person and I, as a listener, must take shared responsibility to make sure that I have understood what they meant to say, and as a speaker I must take responsibility to ensure they really understood what I intended to say. Communication is only successful when understanding has been achieved.
