Over the next few weeks, we will look at a specific principle of leadership. Within these principles we will also consider an application for our spiritual leadership today.

Leaders know who they are and always seek improvement.

One of the most challenging areas in our leadership involves an honest self-examination. A good friend who serves as the CEO for a multimillion dollar organization says leaders must constantly “assess, adjust, improve, make mistakes / own them.”

We could appropriately describe this process as the circle of leadership.

Seeking to improve ourselves in leadership is vital to the success of the family and church.

One of the ways to accomplish this improvement is through asking some difficult questions.

Do we really want to be a leader?

What is the motivation behind our desire to lead?

Are we willing to make the necessary sacrifices to lead effectively?

Will we commit ourselves to the task of continually developing our abilities to lead?

Other questions could be asked, but this provides a foundation to help us know who we are and approach a way to improve our leadership.
