Leadership boils down to what we do, not the results of a spiritual gifts assessment or Myers-Briggs survey. These are good tools to help evaluate an individual and their leadership “potential,” but they do not tell us whether or not a person is good at leadership. Going to school, no matter how advanced the degree(s) or prestigious the school, doesn’t make a person a good leader. Good leadership is about putting others first with your actions. It’s about creating a culture that treats people with respect and encourages them to take risks.
What are the fundamentals of good leadership?
Over the past couple of years I’ve put my thoughts on the fundamentals of good leadership in writing. Here’s a list of links to those posts. Read, consider, and comment. I’m interested in hearing what you think about these fundamentals and what you might add to the list.
Leonard,
Sounds like a plan. Check out my “About” page (top of the screen) for my mailing address.
Thanks for checking out my blog!
Dear Kevin: Just today saw your loacation in the Christian Standard email and read your item on Leadership. I have done a few workshops on the topic and would send you copies (comp) if you will send me your mailing address. If you find something helpful use with no need to give credit because the ideas are out of life experience and belong to all of us who serve our Lord and Christ, Leonard G. Wymore
