Good leaders
October 17, 2017
Faith based organizations have leaders. We look to them, count on them. They are key to the health of the church or faith based organization they lead. Why does only 1 in 3 finish well? What brings success?
Successful leaders have a growing vibrant faith in God from the beginning to end of their leadership. Jesus mirrored this. He started with complete obedience and connection with His father. True on the cross, true today.
Successful leaders are always learning. One pastor before teaching Lamentation, assembled a group who had experienced different losses, invited them into his home and listened. His resulting teaching was profound beyond his personal experiences. Continued learning, the mark of a humble leader.
Keep close and real with God. And keep listening and learning from others.
