Purposeful Leadership

Jill Briscoe’s book Jonah and the Worm is one for all ages. This quick read provides a great connection to leadership.

God’s purpose is not always understood at first. There will be times we do not understand God’s purpose until we have completed His will.

Whoever does God’s will is great in His eyes, even though they may be small.
Leaders should never overlook the influence of anyone regardless of their size or contribution.

It is not the length, but the power of the message that changes lives.
Jonah’s message was five words and changed an entire city. The lesson? Think before speaking.

We need to constantly learn how to improve our leadership.

A Symbol of Leadership

The gavel represents a legalistic leader, decisive and dogmatic.
The eagle represents a presidential leader, representative and political.
The swastika represents a dictatorial leader, aggressive and autocratic.
The crown represents a kingly leader, superior and majestic.
The lamb represents a gentle leader, patient even when suffering.
The cross represents a sacrificial leader, purposeful and loving.

A symbol is generally a material object representing something abstract. What symbol would represent your leadership?
Would the symbol of the cross, representing the purposeful and loving sacrifice of Jesus accurately describe it?

Our leadership is worth the effort to make certain it is represented accurately and biblically.
