I was reading an article on CNN today that was nothing more than an article offering advice to major politicians. The author, Ed Rollins, shared several great axioms of leadership in his article and I want to share a few of them here as well as throw in a some others. I changed up some of the wording of Rollin’s quotes to make them more ministry-minded. Enjoy!
To Torch Leaders:
- Choose to pursue DEEP spiritual health/devotional life
- Guide, Don’t dictate
- Make your co-leaders your allies, serve your members, and be fair & just with those who may be out of line.
- Our actions carry a heavy consequence; it’s imperative that we work hard, make careful decisions, be strategic & think long term
- Despair in leadership comes when we’re leading in our own abilities
- Leadership is not about leading & following, it’s about empowering people to LEAD
- BETTER MINISTRY IS BETTER THAN MORE MINISTRY
- See opportunities, not obstacles
Hope you enjoyed these and I pray that they’re a real benefit to you and the ministry God is calling you all to be a part of!
