The Leader Within…

The activity of leading is often determined by or connected with what a leader does.

While the word “activity” identifies some nature of doing, the basis for doing must be connected to being; it is the leader within.

Learning to understand who we are at the core determines what we do externally as leaders. How do we determine the leader inside?

1) Evaluate core values: integrity, honesty, work ethic, etc.

2) Consider motives behind the current direction.

3) Make decisions based on Biblical principles.

Take a moment to consider how best to examine the heart and develop our leadership from the inside out.

A Motive To Lead…

People lead for different reasons. At times, the situation (crisis) demands someone lead.

However, selfish ambition motivates far too many. The desire to personally benefit from a position of power is appealing in both the secular and spiritual arena. 

When people lead with the right motives, the result is powerful.

Developing this motive consists of three components.

1) Personal and familial relationship with Christ. 
2) Understanding scripture, both the milk and meat of God’s word.
3) Compassion for people’s eternal condition, saved and lost.

These help us check and develop the motive godly leaders should possess.
