Spirit of Leadership

THE LEADERSHIP SPIRIT C HAPTER P RINCIPLES 1. To exercise leadership, you must believe that you are inherently a leader. 2. The leadership spirit is the inherent leadership capac ity and potential that is the essential nature of human beings. The spirit of leadership is the mind-set or attitudes that accompany a true leadership spirit and allow the dormant leadership potential to be fully manifested and maximized. 3. Trapped within every follower is a hidden leader. 4. Our leadership capacity is buried under social, cultural, and ideological perceptions that restrict, discourage, and hinder its manifestation. 5. The leadership spirit is the intrinsic capacity of the human spirit to lead, manage, and dominate, which was placed there at the point of creation and made necessary by the purpose and assignment for which man was created. 6. Leadership is not something that human beings have to strive for; it is something that is inherent within us because of our purpose and design. 7. When we become our true selves, we will naturally be lead ers. 8. If something is created to do something, it is designed with the ability to do it. 9. Humanity was designed with the natural components or “circuitry” to dominate its environment. 10. God’s requirement that we dominate is evidence that the ability to lead is inherent in every human spirit.
