Spirit of Leadership

THE SPIRIT OF LEADERSHIP whom you are leading in order to feel important, then you cannot lead them. Ultimately, they will end up leading you. This is why discovering the leadership spirit is a pre requisite to serving. If you never discover who you are, you will always misinterpret the attitudes and actions of others. You’ll also underestimate everyone else—you’ll consider them less than what they really are because you’ll want to feel that you are above them. You will “under-esteem” them. However, you will treat people well and esteem them highly when you rediscover the leadership spirit and are secure in yourself. Self-discovery is at the heart of the leadership spirit. It is birthed from rediscovering your true nature, potential, capacity, character, and abilities through rediscovering your Source—God. This will naturally lead you to the revela tion that all humans are created in God’s image and like ness, and therefore possess the same value, worth, and estimation as yourself. S ELF - ESTEEM DERIVED FROM SELF - DISCOVERY SETS YOU FREE FROM THE ASSESSMENTS OF OTHERS . The Leadership Spirit Possesses a Natural Love for All Human Beings If each individual bears the same image of God that you do, then it becomes impossible to separate his image in man from himself. In essence, it is not possible to say that you love God but hate mankind, for this becomes a con tradiction. You will have a natural love for others because you will perceive that you and they are essentially the same.
