Four Leadership Points

Posted by PilgrimJosiah on June 4, 2010 at 3:36 PM

I asked Oliver Morales, the 26-year-old leader of the King’s Castle team we worked with in Nicaragua, what he believed was the essence of leadership. He responded with four main points, which I will share here.

1. Do it first. If you tell someone to do something, you must be willing to do it yourself (be an

example).

2. Keep your word. For example, if you say you will be on time and you are late you lose

credibility.

3. Be consistent. Showing forgiveness as a leader can be good, but not if you’ve already given a

warning. The rules must apply equally for everyone.

4. Have respect. The more respect you have for your team the more respect they will have for

you.

Thank you, Oliver for these points, and Josiah for posting them.

A variation of the fourth point that I heard from another leader was this: Help others, work, and be willing for others to take the credit. An important and challenging part of being a Christian leader is putting others first, and helping them succeed in Christ.

That's something we all can be working at.
