Our world is filled with all kinds of shapes. Some are round. Some are square. Shapes take the form of an octagon or triangle. There are shapes that are long and short, deep and wide.

What is the shape of our leadership? Leaders can take the shape of…

…dictatorship, leadership by force of arms.
…representation, leadership that represents others.
…the status quo, leadership that does little or nothing different.
…paternalism, leadership that is fatherly.
…sacrifice, leadership that seeks the greatest good for all.

Each area can play a part in what shapes us as a leader. May our leadership be sacrificial, one that shapes eternity.
