Competition

Our world is competitive. In nearly every area of life we find competition, from children to adults.

We see it in sports, politics, education, and religion. We become consumed with proving we are better than anyone and everyone else.

I once read an interesting quote, ”I am in competition with no one. I run my own race. I have no desire to play the game of being better than anyone, in any way, shape or form. I just aim to improve, to be better than I was before.” Unknown

Imagine the difference if leadership was built on this mindset, especially when coupled with the desire to help others improve.

Comparative Leadership

Scripture speaks about measuring devices and the need for measuring. We also find references to the consequence of measuring ourselves by others.

The competitive mindset of wondering or considering how well we do/did with the performance of someone else tends to dominate our world.

Students compare grades, employees compare paychecks, managers compare productivity, and the list goes on.

When we evaluate who we are and what we do as leaders, and measure it by the right standard, we find areas where constant improvement is needed. The alignment of our leadership with a godly standard increases our level of influence.
