Leadership is....

Leadership is tough, I think that this is a very difficult ability to cultivate and do well. This falls into the category of my last post about echoing Paul in saying do as I do. I think leadership is all about leading by example, and that means telling people if you need an example of how to do something watch me do it. I also have this book written by a friend of the family on the character of leadership. It talks about nine qualities of a leader, and others have defined leadership with other characteristics. I believe that true leadership is consistently striving to be like Christ and moving forward in those strivings. This sounds somewhat like a Sunday School answer, but I think that truly Jesus was the only true leader. He lead men of ignoble birth to be great men of God. So I think this question reverts back to whether or not you can say follow me as I follow Christ. ~danny
