Leaders

It takes a leader to raise up a leader. Followers can’t do it, and neither can institutional programs.

“It takes one to know one, to show one, to grow one.”

The potential of an any organization depends on the growth in its leadership.

If the only reason you appointed him to leadership is because he was a great follower ... You church, reputation and organization are doomed.

Leadership is simply about influencing people. Nothing more, nothing less.
The truest test of a leader is to ask him to create positive change in an organisation.
If he cannot create change, he cannot lead.

Being a leader is not about being first, or being in charge, or being the most knowledgeable ...

Being a leader is not about holding a leadership title.

It’s not the position that makes a leader, but the ability to affect change in those who follow.

A few questions:

If no one is following you, are you still the leader?

If no one is buying into your message or methods, are you still the leader?

Leadership is like a lid or a ceiling on any organization. No church or business will rise beyond the level it's leadership allows. That’s why when a corporation or team needs to be fixed, they fire the leader.


Sadly most religious bodies who struggle under bad leadership continue to decline for years ... You can't fire incompetence in ministry.
