Leadership

John 13:15 “I’ve laid down a pattern for you.  What I’ve done, you do.”

In my college class, we were discussing the qualities of a good leader.  We listed people in our lives that represented good examples of leaders.  We then had to compare ourselves to the characteristics we saw in the good leaders around us.  Are we taking these things on and using them in leading people or we were noticing them and then forgetting about them?  We are leaders whether we feel like we are or not.  Everyone always has someone who is watching what they do and seeing it as an example.  We had to tell of a time when we dealt with a bad supervisor and a good supervisor.  We explained how it affected our working and attitude.  What kind of effects are you leaving on people?  Are you helping them in the work we must do daily in Christ or are you making it hard for them?  As a bad example, you give them more to try and work through.  They think what you do is ok and if it’s not, then you’re dragging them down.  Be a good leader!  It doesn’t matter if you think you can be or not, you have the perfect example to be practicing…Christ.

Titus 2:7 “But mostly, show them all this by doing it yourself, incorruptible in your teaching.”
