Spirit of Leadership

THE SPIRIT OF LEADERSHIP C HAPTER P RINCIPLES 1. True leadership has more to do with mind-set than with methods and techniques. 2. The challenge of all humanity is restoration to self. 3. Despite humanity’s declaring independence from its Source, the Creator hasn’t changed his mind about his original purposes for us. 4. The Creator is passionately committed to our being recon nected to him because (1) we are made in his image, and he doesn’t want his image to be distorted or disgraced in the world, and (2) his purposes are permanent; he always accomplishes what he originally sets out to do. 5. The Creator’s ultimate purpose for humanity is to create a corporate leadership, summed up in the phrase, “Every person a leader.” The command to have dominion over the earth was given to all of humanity, males and females. 6. Corporate leadership works through the servant leader ship principle. 7. Every human being, according to the Creator’s mandate, was designed by him to be a leader in an area of gifting. 8. The Creator’s program for reconnecting humanity with himself can be called “redemptive restoration.” 9. Humanity’s dilemma is not so much a “religious” problem as it is a thought problem. 10. God sent “the Word,” Jesus Christ, to earth to correct and redirect our thinking. He came to give us back the origi nal thoughts that we lost when we disconnected from our Source.
