By Paul Collins Leadership is not just the domain of the select few. We all express leadership in different measures within the framework of our giftings. Authority and responsibility Authority and responsibility go together. You cannot have authority without responsibility or responsibility without authority. The authority always matches the responsibility.
Leadership according to the gifting Each person's giftings defines their leadership expression.
Each time we pray, share or minister in any way, we are expressing leadership in that area . Leadership and servanthood God distributes gifts within the Body of Christ so that we might serve one another, not lord it over each other. General and situational leadership General leadership is where a person has responsibility for a particular section of God's work for example, a local fellowship. Situational leadership is where a person expresses leadership at a particular time for a particular situation. Situational leadership must always find its expression within the covering of general leadership.
