SOME THOUGHTS ON LEADERSHIP

Leadership is not a position – Leadership is a function. The first function of a leader is to make the purpose of the organization known. The purpose of the organization should be the vision. The leader should personify the vision. The purpose of Northwest Baptist Church is “to know Christ and to make Him known to a world that knows Him not”.
As leaders must see farther down the road than those we leads

Three qualities in leaders that people want to follow
1. They know someone others do not know
2. They do something others have not done
3. They know something others do not know

People will only follow you nowhere once or twice; they will then look for someone else to follow.
Followers look for places to lay the blame – Leaders look for ways to make improvement
Everything we do as leaders should be working toward the purpose we personify.
