A Christian Leader
As the church of Jesus Christ we ought to be raising up the greatest leaders for every area of society. There is a desperate need for positive, constructive, dynamic and creative leadership.
Leadership in the church is different from leadership in the world – Luke 22:24-27.
What is Leadership?
Leadership is influence. Here is a leadership proverb for you: "He that thinketh he leadeth and no one followeth simply taketh a walk."
There are 5 levels of leadership:
- Visionary
- People follow because you keep things on the cutting edge
- Reproduction
- People follow because of the growth you have facilitated in them
- Competence
- People follow because of what you can do
- Relationship
- People follow because they want to
- Position
- People follow because they have to
As leaders, we ought to be operating at the top two levels, however more than often we see the positional leader operating why!
A simple view could be that many leaders today have not received any type of leadership training and operate from a myopic stance, using leadership principles gathers from previous experiences. More than often they are outdated and task orientated showing little balance between, task, groups and individuals. At some point in the future I will come back to the three areas of task, groups and individuals.
