Leadership
I have been contemplating what leadership means, what is encompassed in the word leadership, and ultmately what are leadership's ultimate goals. I have been placed in a leadership position by The Salvation Army and I believe ultimately by God. I have been here just over 8 months, are things better, are they worst, and are they the same? These are the questions that keep rolling around in mind. I am trying to figure this out, maybe I will not ever figure it out.
But...
Last couple of weeks it seems that everything has been going wrong. Everywhere I turn there is another problem, another issue, to solve to to deal with . I just don't understand what seems to be going wrong. Is it me? Is it ministry (leadership) style?
When things ultimately go wrong, I always end up blaming myself. I always placed the blame on my shoulders, on decisions that I have made, and on my own consequence as a whole. Am I the one to blame?
Not sure what else to write, other than there is going to be a drastic change in my life in the next couple of weeks with the arrival of my daughter. And my thinking goes to if I am having problems with my understanding of leadership right now in this place, what is going to happen say in April when Elaina comes?
I have been relying on Joshua 1:6 "Be strong and courageous because you will lead these people..." I pray for strength and courage.
But know it is your turn to comment.
What makes a good leader?
What gifts must a leader possess?
How do you address problems that come your way?
