Learning Leadership from the Lord

 

The heart of man plans his way,

but the Lord establishes his steps.

Proverbs 16:9

 

Learning Leadership from the Lord is Crucial

 

Are you a leader?

You are a leader! You are leading someone by God’s design!

Maybe we could say, “You are never NOT leading!”

Now, where do you go to learn about leadership?

I want my leadership to be established by the Lord, don’t you!

So, let’s go to The LEADER together!

 

Learning Leadership from the Lord has been a wonderful journey for me!

 

Remember your leaders, those who spoke to you the word of God.

Consider the outcome of their way of life, and imitate their faith.

Hebrews 13:7

 

 

 

 

As an entrepreneur for the last 25 years, I’ve spent a lot of time searching out people from whom to learn leadership skills.

• The John Maxwell Team-most recently! This is one of the greatest steps I’ve taken! Wish I hadn’t waited till now!
• The Kingdom Driven Entrepreneur group (also recently)!
• Dozens of awesome coaches and mentors and great examples, who “… …set the believers an example in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity.” 1 Timothy 4:12, and
• The PACKED classroom vault of my own organization – The {Inter} National Association of Christian Women Entrepreneurs [NACWE.org]/Mompreneurs

The list is long!

 

Learning Leadership from the Lord and Paul the Apostle

Most recently I decided that I would like to read through all the books of the Bible written by Paul chronologically!

I decided to read through those books of the Bible in John Maxwell‘s Leadership Bible!

I’ll be sharing things I learn as I grow because that’s what I do! I hope you do too!

Share what the Lord is teaching you with those you love and lead!

 

Learning Leadership from the Lord, the LEADER!

Do you go to the Bible for leadership lessons? It’s considered the greatest book ever written and John Maxwell believes it is the greatest book on leadership ever written! The Lord, our Leader, has been teaching us about leadership for thousands of years. Have we been listening?

 

 

 

Learning Leadership from the Lord

Will I ever learn? The best source, the greatest tool for life and livelihood is the Bible! If I will seek Him, He will change my life and the course of my development as a leader. Out of it, I can draw leadership principles that have been woven into it by God who Leads us! I’ll look at other sources, and I’ll listen to those He has placed in my life, but I desire to focus on Him First!

 

Learning Leadership from the Lord Together

Join me in taking these steps to being a godly leader:

• Dive into God‘s Word every day.
• Put it on your calendar! If I don’t block the time off for the most important time – time spent being quiet, in prayer, and seeking the Lord, the time that I have blocked off for other tasks is in vain!
• Take an extra step and journal through what He is teaching you as you spend time with Him.
• Along the way, ask Him to use this time to grow you to be a more godly leader of others.
• Ask Him to place people in your life who will lead you with wisdom.
• Share what you are learning with others! Share this article on social media, please!

Learning Leadership from the Lord – LEAD ON!

Use your Leadership gifts or ‘giftedness’ wisely:

Gifts of Grace – Romans 12

3 For by the grace given to me I say to everyone among you not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think with sober judgment, each according to the measure of faith that God has assigned. 4 For as in one body we have many members, and the members do not all have the same function, 5 so we, though many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another. 6 Having gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, let us use them: if prophecy, in proportion to our faith; 7 if service, in our serving; the one who teaches, in his teaching; 8 the one who exhorts, in his exhortation; the one who contributes, in generosity; the one who leads, with zeal; the one who does acts of mercy, with cheerfulness.
