A Brief Summary

The authors of the book ‘Lead like Jesus,’ Phil Hodges and Ken Blanchard argues that

any successful leadership model must exhibit the characters of Jesus Christ, who was a true

servant leader. Therefore, they discuss the four main fields and how they model a person into

with predictable disciplines. The author's main idea is that servant leadership should be

compared against Jesus Christ, who was an excellent servant leader.
