Developing Your Leadership Heart

Submitted by James Higginbotham on April 14, 2009 – 5:02 amNo Comment

It is too easy to let your leadership heart shrink like the Grinch. We can get caught up in the day-to-day work of ministry and forget what is really important. We can let our hearts shrink daily, without knowing it, until there is nothing left. Or, we can choose to develop our leadership heart.

Here are three tips for developing your leadership heart:

  1. Let Others – it takes a team, not an individual, to get things done in God’s Kingdom
  2. Give Credit – make sure your team gets the credit, not just you, when things go right or wrong
  3. Keep Focus – it is easy to think you are the reason the team succeeds. Don’t build a golden calf for yourself. Keep everyone focused on God not you

Developing your leadership heart takes effort. It means spending time in God’s Word. It means spending time listening to God. It means spending time doing what God wants us to do (not what we want). It also means spending time helping others develop the same focus.
