Many people in leadership do not embrace the concept of servant leadership because of the supposed problem associated with it, which actually is not the problem of servant leadership, but the problem servant leadership is disposed to resolve.

• Problem of "Authority Figures" and use of Power

Those who exercise authority must first be under authority, they are accountable to God. However many people in authority rejects divine authority and set themselves up as their own authority.

• Problem Of Greed And Ego

Jude describes some shepherd as selfish, who instead of shepherding the flock and caring for the needs of the people, only care for themselves. These selfish leaders are out to please themselves by taking advantage of others. They give impression that they are out to help, but they are interested only in gratifying their own lust. They impress their subject with their vocabularies and oratory, using flattery to manipulate their listeners. They even "bow and scrape" and pay compliments to others, if it is to their advantage. All these are done as a result of the greed and ego of the leader.

• Problem Of "Say And Do Not"

The leaders who"say and do not"declares a day of labour while they themselves are conspicuously absent and remain in their air conditioned office as the supervisor. They compelled others to fast for a project.

But they treat themselves with sumptuos meals behind the curtains. When it comesto teaching, they are great teachers, but in practice, they are deficient. They stretch their feet only to collect homage, they are leaders only by "saying " not by "doing". When ever they venture to do anything, it is to be seen of men. If they pretend to dig a well with the people, it must be covered by camera and published in the pages of the news letter of the ministry. To such leaders, leadership position is exploitative, it is place to get men do for you, what you cannot and will not even do for yourself and by yourself.
