One of my favorite authors on leadership is John Maxwell. My husband blessed me with his leadership Bible, which is simply the Word of God with John Maxwell inserting his leadership expertise in between. Today I want to share with you some of his wisdom and what I've learned as well. A good leader will get great results, and a bad leader well... I have had the opportunity to lead many things in my 29 years with Jesus and the one thing that has kept me steady and grounded is realizing that my security as a leader
rests in God alone. When God is your focus you know it only through Him and His power that you are able to do anything worthy for Him. When God is "Center Stage" you realize that it is His Word that helps people ummm... not you. When God's ownership is clear you know that you exists for the people and not the other way around. I look at ministry this way. God's Word is the food and we are just spoons and forks delivering His Word to hungry souls.
Below is some great advice from Bro.Maxwell.
1. People cannot provide security for a leader.
2. Leaders should never put their emotional health in the hands of someone else.
3. Spiritual and emotional health requires the truth.
4. Leaders must remember that hurting people naturally hurt people
5. Trouble arises when leaders depend on people to do what ONLY God can.
Have a wonderful day today and remember if we keep God at the "center" of our lives and ministry He will always be the "Star" and we will stay healthy and grounded. He will also help us,to help His people to focus soley on Him too (-:
