18 Things Which Do Not Happen Without Quality Leadership

Do not ever take leadership for granted.  Leadership is not to be discounted.  As John Maxwell famously said, “Everything rises and falls on leadership.”  Without quality leadership, nothing good happens.  If you want your church, team or organization to get better, get better leadership.

In the May 19th edition of the USA Today, Paul Bissonnette wrote a column about the impact of hockey captains.  His argument is no other sports league feels the impact of quality leadership more than hockey.  His column inspired the following list.

The following are 18 Things Which Do Not Happen Without Quality Leadership:

1. There is no hope for a brighter tomorrow.  Leaders inspire others.
2. There is no unity or alignment.  Leaders make sure everyone is on the same page and headed in the same direction.
3. There is no direction.  Your church, team or organization are rudderless.  Leaders show you the path to success.
4. There is no sense of calm.  Conversely, there is panic.  Leaders remain calm under pressure.
5. There is no sense of urgency.  People get complacent or lazy.  Leaders have a strong work ethic.
6. There is no confidence.  Leaders have and bring confidence.
7. There is poor communication.  Leaders have excellent communication skills.
8. Organizations lose their edge.  They are constantly being beaten by the competition.  Leaders have an edge.
9. Your church, team or organization is unstable.  Leaders provide stability.
10. There is no excellence.  Your church, team or organization is reduced to a level of mediocrity at best.  Leaders bring out the best in others.
11. There is no unity.  Your team is divided.  Leaders bring people together.  They are inclusive.
12. There is a lack of transparency.  Leaders are genuine.
13. There is no sense of awe.  Nothing extraordinary ever happens.  Leaders bring intangibles.  They bring a little extra.
14. There is no trust.  Leaders are sincere.
15. There is no positive momentum.  Leaders turn organizations around.
16. There is a lack of accessibility and therefore, limited staff development.  Leaders are noticeable.
17. Nothing gets done.  Goals are often not met.  Leaders are productive.
18. People on your team are quitting when times get tough.  Leaders help others through adversity.

Once again, do not ever take quality leadership for granted.
