I could not read the music, but I could follow Dave. Choir practice became fun instead of misery. I felt much better about myself and my singing simply because Dave Dungan showed the way. Great leadership does that. It pulls a people up, lifts them up, lets us see a different world and perform better.
Great leadership has that capacity.
It calls us to do better and to be better. That happens, in part, because a great leader is willing to be a role model for us. So often in the Scripture, we see leaders calling people to take a look at them. Role models not only tell you to do something, but show you how to do it. That does not mean, however, that in a democracy like ours, we should elect only perfect people.
