The Savior Taught the Apostles About Leadership

In the world today, leaders are often seen as people who dictate without love and are not expected to serve others. John 13:1-17 introduces us to the idea of Christ-Like leadership. This is the story of Christ washing his disciples feet. He was giving them love and service, which is exactly how our Church should run. Applying this teaching of Christ washing his disciples feet shows that we are all equals, put on this earth to serve one another. I think it really warns against pride within our leaders and reinforces the idea that our leaders should serve us. 

I watched our Bishop take all of the young men and abled bodied men out of the Church meetings and start building barriers around homes during a really intense flood. It was my favorite thing to see him working along side the other workers. It was wonderful to see that kind of Christ-like leadership within my ward, especially as a new convert.
