Leadership

Are you 'A Leader' or 'The Leader'?
January 7, 2009 • By

From Scott Williams at Life Church's Leadership Blog:

Pronunciation: “A Leader” Uh-Leader and “The Leader” Thuh Leader

Just because you are “A Leader” doesn’t necessarily mean that you are “The Leader.”

Just because you are “A Leader” who leads a church of 500 people; doesn’t mean that you are “The Leader” to take that church to over a thousand people.

Just because you are “A Leader” that has a position, a title and an office; doesn’t mean that you are “The Leader” that people believe in, respect and are excited to follow.

Just because you are “A Leader” that people look up to today; doesn’t mean that you are going to be “The Leader” that people look up to tomorrow.

Just because you are “A Leader” on this team; doesn’t meant that you are going to be “The Leader” on that team.

Just because you are “The Leader” to this particular group or faction; doesn’t mean you will be “The Leader” to that group or faction.

If you are “A Leader” and think that you are “The Leader” that can be a problem; know your place and respect your space.

Although both are important, there is definitely a difference between being “A Leader” and “The Leader”

Remember, just because you are “A Leader” doesn’t mean that you will necessarily ever be “The Leader”

If you are “A Leader” who’s determined to be “The Leader” figure it out; Go Lead… Transcend The Isms’

Let's not squander this! Here are some ideas of how we can serve our communities, lessen the burden of the economic crisis, and build trust with outsiders...
From Seth Godin (marketing & leadership guru): I try hard not to keep a running tally of big-time failures in my head. It gets in the way of creating the next thing. On the other hand, when you see failure as a learning event, not a destination, it makes you smarter, faster.
(This article is based on the book "The Dip" by bestselling author Seth Godin.) Every Wednesday night, we would have an event for every black Christian on campus to come out, mingle, eat some pizza, and discuss an interesting topic. Every Wednesday night, only the leadership team would show up. Every Wednesday night for about 2 months. We could've given up on the campus fellowship. We could've given up on having big group events. But, we didn't. Read how we made this decision and how it relates to you.
