The Shape of Leadership

December 30, 2025 bobturner Daily Leadership, saltJournal 0 Comments

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.

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.
