thoughts on leadership

Thoughts on Leadership from Transformational Leadership Seminar:


1) Nothing happens without leadership; Everything rises and falls with leadership
2) Test yourself as a leader by asking ‘Is anyone following?’
3) Characters speaks loudly
4) When you stop learning, you stop leading

Acts 13- Leaders were seperated by the Holy Spirit


Types of leadership
1) Religious (example prodigal son) Galatians 6:1- This type is what killed Jesus
2) Passivity
*Religious spirt is the enemy to intimacy

Marks of a good leader
- Hear the call and sacrifice for the call
- Listeners
- Empathy/Compassion (ask for these gifts as well as gift of healing)
- Awareness, spirit of discernement Psalms 105
- Vision, see the future
- Stewardship - the call
- Keep growing and desire to see others grow
- Builds community

Question: What direction am I leading my family? Am I taking leadership seriously?
