John Maxwell says if you are a leader and no one is following, then you are merely taking a walk. We must be sensitive to others, our disposition is far more important than our position. We must listen to our children as well as our congregation. We must constantly ask what is best for those who follow us. Not self-preservation, but a servant s heart should rule our decisions.
Words are powerful to bring out the best or worst in our people.
So speak kindly. Because how we treat people on the way upp, is how they will treat us on the way down. Leadership is more than teaching and accomplishing, it is fathering and reproducing. Jesus poured himself into His disciples by developing them for purpose. Have a purpose far greater than those who follow fulfilling your dreams.
