This week was very interesting. I was able to learn a lot from all of my classes, but especially this weeks lesson in this class about being, becoming a disciple leader. When we think of the word disciple, we quickly think of Christianity and Christs disciples. When we break down the word disciple what does it really mean? According to google it means: a personal follower of Jesus during his life, especially one of the twelve Apostles. Like I said, this is one of the most common ways to think of a disciple. But, the second definition is “A follower or student of a teacher, leader, or philosopher.” I think this definition and take on disciple is very interesting and intriguing. Being a disciple leader then means much more and we can really apply it in any industry and in any field of study. We have all heard that some of the greatest leaders are the greatest followers. This is very true, especially when we talk about Jesus Christ. Throughout His time here on earth, He continually pointed out the fact that we was here doing his father’s business. One of these times was when he was very young and he was found in the temple by his worrying parents, teaching people much older than his was about God. Christ was the greatest follower that we know and that is why He is the greatest leader that we know. Can we apply this in business? Yes we can. And when we do apply it, it can have a very powerful effect. When a leader is not a follower of his leaders, it causes a negative, un-unifying feeling and emotion to spread to fellow team members. This can act as a disease in a company if not corrected. Becoming a disciple leader is something we should all aspire to do.
