Jesus built his brand in three years and has hundreds of thousands of franchises all over the world without ever having left his home region.

Mark 10:32 NLT
They were now on the way up to Jerusalem, and Jesus was walking ahead of them. The disciples were filled with awe, and the people following behind were overwhelmed with fear. Taking the twelve disciples aside, Jesus once more began to describe everything that was about to happen to him.
Mark 10:33 NLT
“Listen,” he said, “we’re going up to Jerusalem, where the Son of Man will be betrayed to the leading priests and the teachers of religious law. They will sentence him to die and hand him over to the Romans.
Mark 10:34 NLT
They will mock him, spit on him, flog him with a whip, and kill him, but after three days he will rise again.”
Mark 10:35 NLT
Then James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came over and spoke to him. “Teacher,” they said, “we want you to do us a favor.”
Mark 10:36 NLT
“What is your request?” he asked.
Mark 10:37 NLT
They replied, “When you sit on your glorious throne, we want to sit in places of honor next to you, one on your right and the other on your left.”
Mark 10:38 NLT
But Jesus said to them, “You don’t know what you are asking! Are you able to drink from the bitter cup of suffering I am about to drink? Are you able to be baptized with the baptism of suffering I must be baptized with?”
Mark 10:39 NLT
“Oh yes,” they replied, “we are able!” Then Jesus told them, “You will indeed drink from my bitter cup and be baptized with my baptism of suffering.
Mark 10:40 NLT
But I have no right to say who will sit on my right or my left. God has prepared those places for the ones he has chosen.”
Mark 10:41 NLT
When the ten other disciples heard what James and John had asked, they were indignant.
Mark 10:42 NLT
So Jesus called them together and said, “You know that the rulers in this world lord it over their people, and officials flaunt their authority over those under them.
Mark 10:43 NIV
Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant,
Mark 10:44 NLT
and whoever wants to be first among you must be the slave of everyone else.
Mark 10:45 NLT
For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve others and to give his life as a ransom for many.”

We are to leverage our authority for the benefit of those under our authority.

If you believe I’m for me, you better be on the lookout for you.

If you believe I’m for you, you can be for the people who report to you.

Humility

Level 5 leaders embody a paradoxical mix of personal humility and professional will. They are ambitious, to be sure, but ambitious first and foremost for the company, not themselves. - Jim Collins Good to Great
