Jesus is our Servant-Leader. He called Himself servant.
“I am among you as one who serves.” Lk. 22:27
He was also master.
“You call me Master and Lord and you are right, for so I am.” Jn. 13:13
He served the disciples by instructing and training them, giving them an example by washing their feet (Jn. 13:1–20). But as their Master, He never depended on their consensus for His decisions. His orders came from His Father:
“I can do nothing on My own authority…” Jn. 5:30.

Paul also calls himself servant.
“…I have made myself a slave to all, that I may win the more.” I Cor. 9:19
He was also one of the apostles and speaks of “…our authority which the Lord gave for building you up…” II Cor. 10:8. He never depended on consensus for his decisions. He was also not above using coercion on the unruly Corinthians, excommunicating an incestuous couple (I Cor. 5:3–5), and ‘jawboning’ a gift for the Jerusalem church. II Cor. 9:1–5

During the course of his missions, Paul realized that his preaching to Gentiles was creating difficulties for the Christians in Jerusalem, who thought that Gentiles must become Jewish in order to join the Christian movement. To settle the issue, Paul returned to Jerusalem and struck a deal. It was agreed that Peter would be the principal apostle to Jews and Paul the principal apostle to Gentiles.
