Spirit of Leadership

THE HIDDEN LEADER IN YOU 12. Five myths of leadership are: (1) Birth Trait Theory: “Lead ers are born, not made”; (2) Leadership by Providence; (3) Leadership Is the Result of a Charismatic Personality; (4) Leadership Is the Product of a Forceful Personality; and (5) Leadership Is the Result of Special Training. 13. True leadership is an attitude that naturally inspires and motivates others. 14. Learning about leadership and knowing what it means to be a leader are two different things. Learning comes from education, while knowing comes from revelation. Learning is cognitive, while knowing is spiritual. 15. Most of us are not leaders because, in our hearts, we don’t believe that is who we are. 16. The leadership spirit is our inherent leadership potential. The spirit of leadership is the consciousness of our being made in the image of our Creator, as well as the attitudes that accompany that awareness. 17. Every human being has the raw material for leadership, but most do not have the desire, courage, or will to use it. 18. True leadership is an attitude of the heart that is birthed by a renewed understanding of purpose. 19. You were born to lead, but you must become a leader.
