Christian leaders seek to find where God is at work and then lead others to join in. E - Encourage people by both words and actions. Leaders don't just give orders. They communicate clearly and model what they want others to say and do, thereby winning their trust and confidence. They willingly do whatever is needed to help the group succeed.
Leaders ask good questions and then listen.
Leaders trust others and value their insights. They learn from their critics without compromising their vision. D - Depend on the Lord, the greatest Leader. Courageously, leaders make the hard decisions based on gathering as much information as possible, evaluating the options, and giving priority to sound biblical principles. Following the Lord's example, Christian leaders endure and do not give up at the first sign of discouragement or criticism.
