Spirit of Leadership

THE SPIRIT OF LEADERSHIP to perform sophisticated religious customs or rituals. In the first book written by Moses, it is recorded that Adam “walked and talked with God in the cool of the day.”

T RUE LEADERS ARE HONEST ; THERE IS NO MANIPULATION OR DECEPTION IN THEM .

Adam was comfortable in God’s company because he was just like him. In effect, the nature of the leadership spirit is to be comfortable in the presence of power, author ity, and might without being intimidated. When the lead ership spirit is fully restored, you revere and respect God and his authority but are never fearful in his presence; you rejoice in his company. True leaders respect and honor authority but are comfortable in its presence. The restoration of the leadership spirit also brings a level of confidence that is not common, and that, in the eyes of many, seems to come from another world. Your thinking and perception come from a higher plane. When Jesus was on trial before the Roman procurator Pilate, the ruler asked him, “Are you a king?” He answered, “My kingdom is not of this world.” In other words, “My gov ernment is from another place.” When a person redis covers the leadership spirit, his confidence emerges from an understanding of who and what he is and an awareness of his true capacity and abilities. This natural confi dence, grounded in a conviction of self-discovery and self-awareness, is so sure that it is sometimes mistaken for arrogance by the insecure. The Spirit of Leadership Is an Otherworldly Confidence
