LEADERSHIP LESSONS

Understanding the Purpose & Meaning of Leadership

True leadership brings followers into leadership and makes itself increasingly unnecessary. So, you are a successful leader when your followers can lead others. Success without a successor is failure.
True leadership provides opportunity for others to find and fulfill their God-given purpose.
The purpose for leadership is not the maintenance of followers but the production of leaders.
The greatest display of leadership is service.
Leadership is born out of character and determination.
A leader is simply a person who has a sphere of influence.
Good leadership is born out of, is carried on excellently and is executed from good follower-ship. One is not qualified to give orders until he can receive them.
Leadership only exercises authority as they operate under equal and higher authority. You cannot exercise authority until you are under authority.
Leadership is not a right, it’s an art; and being an art, it represents a discipline that only answers to development.
Every time God desires to do something great, He does not call the masses. No! He calls a leader to step forward and he trains them to function. e.g. Restoration of world - Adam; Noah - new breed of people; New nation - Abraham, Isaac, Jacob; Deliverance of Israel from captivity - Moses; Crossing over to promised land – Joshua; Jesus, Paul, Peter, Timothy Titus, etc.
God never forces His leadership on anyone.
If you want to learn on leadership go to the best book on leadership ever written - the Bible - it has the potential to change your life and the course of your development as a spiritual leader or any leader in the secular world. Like the title of John Maxwell‘s book - ‘there is no such thing as business ethics, ethics are ethics.’ It all came from this book.
Who could possibly teach us more about leadership than God Himself.
Churches and nations can die due to a lack of strong leadership.
The leadership of any group or organization will determine its success or failure in other words - its future.
The crying need of the world and of the church today is developed, exemplary, sound and moral generational leadership.
