Learnings: Are You REALLY a Leader?
Monday, March 9, 2009 @ 5:57 pm by Josh Burcham
Tony Morgan over at Newspring Church posts a great personal story and commented truth about leadership. If you are in any type or form of leadership, this is worth its weight in gold! Excerpt from Are you really the leader? below:
Leadership looks a lot different these days.
- It doesn’t necessarily reside in the corner office.
- It’s something that’s earned rather than bestowed.
- It rarely tells people what to do, but rather asks how can I serve?
- It can’t be bought, because most people ultimately care very little about the money.
- It’s focused more on the mission than the tasks.
- It’s concerned more about fostering influence instead of wielding power.
- It recognizes the next new idea will come from someone else.
- It doesn’t necessarily require words.
