The case study discusses the potential of drone delivery and the challenges that need to be addressed before it becomes widespread.
Key takeaways:
Drone delivery is in its early stages: Amazon's trial in the UK demonstrates the potential for faster deliveries, but it's still limited by regulations and technology.
Regulations are a major hurdle: Safety concerns around drone collisions with airplanes and people have led to restrictions on flight height and location.
Other challenges exist: Who will use drone delivery the most? Is it cost-effective compared to traditional delivery trucks?
Discussion questions:
Managerial challenges: Integrating drones requires planning for new infrastructure, training staff, and navigating regulations. There are also marketing and recruitment considerations specific to this technology.
External forces vary by country: Regulations, consumer acceptance, and infrastructure all differ between countries.
Demographics matter: Younger generations might be more receptive to drone delivery, while older populations might have concerns.
Stakeholders for Amazon: Customers, regulators, aviation authorities, and competitors are all stakeholders. Regulators likely hold the greatest influence as they determine the feasibility of drone delivery.

5. Leadership in the 21st century is about:
1. Understanding your calling:
•Why you are called?
•What are you call to do?
•What is expected of you?
This implies you have to understand the
roles, responsibilities, demand and authority
associated with the call.
2. Bearing fruit that endures: John 15:16

6. LEADERSHIP is about understanding the people you lead.
• their psychological make up
• Their culture (youthful IF THEY ARE YOUTH)
• Their emotion & physic
You need to feel and understand their pain (empty
stomach), the uncertainty of homelessness (single
parenting), the hostile environment they find themselves,
the tension of disagreement, the burn of betrayal ETC
It is only by this that you can help them experience
the joy of friendship. Help them go through problems
(worst) in life. Provide hope. Be a wonderful counsellor, a
companion and patiently listen to their concern with insight
and care.

model of spiritual virtue
15. • What does it mean to lead in the 21st century?
• What do we need to lead in the 21st century?
• Do we have the right tools (knowledge/skills/resources)
and attitude to lead in the 21st century?
• Do we understand and appreciate the tools we are to
use in the 21st century leadership?
• How are we planning to use the tools (if we understand
& appreciate) in the 21st century leadership?
• Do we appreciate the task of leading in the 21st century?
• What qualities do you think a 21st century Christian
leader need to be effective?
Questions for pondering
16. CONCLUSION
Leadership in the 21st century is just like fishing. No wonder
Jesus said “Follow me and I will make you fishers of men”
(Matt 4:19). It is important to note that not less than seven of
Jesus Christ’s disciples were fishermen (Matt. 4:18-22; Mark
1:16-20; Luke 5:1-11 & John 21:1-5). We can therefore learn
from fishermen how they equip one another (especially, new
persons) for fishing. To lead in the 21st century as Christian
leaders, we have to start equipping ourselves with tools such
as prayers, personal devotion, study of the word of God,
communication skills, self-control, commitment among others.
Through gradual and conscious effort, we would be the
Christian leaders Christ want us to be.
