Sometimes I think we just make leadership too difficult. Leadership is influence. It is about movement. The most difficult and important form of leadership is self-leadership. You cannot lead others if you cannot first lead yourself. And above all, leadership is about people – serving them, honoring them, encouraging them and helping them reach their full potential.
This is why I love this week’s Top 10 list so much. Many of these posts deal with the fundamentals of quality leadership. Make sure you and your staff check out each one.
Also, the following are two resources I want to make you aware of. These will equip you to do ministry more effectively:
