00:03:14 - Jesus as a Model Leader,

Tim explains why Jesus is a great example of a leader, regardless of one's faith. He emphasizes the impact that Jesus had on the world and how he interacted with three groups of people - the sheep, the wolves, and the disciples.

00:08:02 - Stewardship vs Ownership,

Tim talks about how Jesus was a steward, not an owner, and why this is an important concept for leaders. He highlights the responsibility that comes with stewardship and the need to take care of what has been entrusted to you.

00:13:03 - Lessons from the Life of Jesus,

Tim presents twelve lessons that we can learn from the life of Jesus to become better leaders. These lessons include the importance of loving and caring for those you lead, speaking hard truths when necessary, spending quality time with those you lead, and leading by example.

00:16:32 - The Humanity of Jesus' Leadership,

Jesus took time to patiently answer questions and spent time around his disciples. He led by example, showing us the importance of spending time, being patient, and understanding the needs of those we lead.

00:18:25 - Effective Communication,

Jesus used various communication methods, like parables, stories, and questions, to effectively communicate with different audiences. He emphasized the importance of clear communication and checking for understanding.
