Leadership defined by James C Hunter author of The World's Most Powerful Leadership Principles:"The skills of influencing people to enthusiastically work toward goals identified as being for the common good, with character that inspires confidence".
The author highlights skills, influencing and character as key to effective leadership. I find the foundation upon which these keys are to be developed in Mark 12:29-31. From this I connect that to lead is to serve...wherein it follows that we must become the change we wish to see in the world!
Are you willing to sacrifice ego, lust for power, pride and other self-interest for the greater good? ...Jesus did!
Are you willing to serve others, forgive, apologize, and give others credit even when you don't fell like? ...Jesus would!
Are you willing to extend yourself for others, be rejected, under appreciated and even taken advantage of at times? ...Jesus did!
Are you willing to sacrifice and subordinate anything that gets in the way of doing the right thing? ...Jesus would!
Will you say yes? ...Jesus did!
