Leadership 101

We have this treasure from God, but

we are only like clay jars that hold
the treasure. This is to show that the
amazing power we have is from God,
not from us.

 A leader is one who influences a specific group

of people to move in a God-given direction.
In order to influence and motivate people a
leader must learn how to relate to people
effectively.
You must acquire the tools to BE a good leader
they are not inherent in the job.
If all you have in your toolbox is a hammer

Ministry conflict
Leadership backlash

 Leadership by its very nature

inevitably leads to conflict.
It comes from without BUT most
often from within.
This will test your personal maturity.
What we ARE is revealed in a crisis

 In conflict the greatest weakness is closure.

Successfully resolved
Partially resolved
Unresolved
Most important is what you LEARN from conflict.
It is bad enough to go through it but worse to go
through it and not profit from it.
