Head and Heart

Using our head to lead ourselves means we:
…think before we speak or act.
…consider the short and long term consequences of our words and actions.
…weigh the evidence and ask evaluating questions before making decisions.

Using our heart to lead others means we:
…devote ourselves to learning and serving the needs of others.
…prioritize our time toward maturity in relationship development.
…risk the temporary satisfaction for the eternal gain.

It is often said, “To lead yourself, use your head. To lead others, use your heart.”

Let us be mindful of how to lead with both head and heart.

Proof

Can you prove your leadership?

The question implies a measure of evidence. To claim we are a leader does not make us a leader. Simply because people follow out of compulsion, does not identify us a leader. Wearing a title does not make us a leader either.

What evidence can be produced to prove leadership?

The proof of leadership may best be determined by answering the following questions.

Do we possess a love for those who follow, seeking their highest good?

Are our goals driven by spiritual or selfish desires?

What determines our decisions?

Examining our leadership identifies both how we lead and the nature of our leadership.
