As A Leader

1 Cor. 3:6-10

Jim Wideman, a church growth consultant highlights some things you can do to help those looking to you for directions: (1) Put their goals and needs first. You are a part of the team not the whole team. Always think about how your actions affect others. (2)  Help others to win. Keep the ball moving till someone has a chance to score. Adopt the motto, ‘It doesn’t matter who gets the credit. (3) Over–communicate. Keep everyone in the loop; spend time with your peers, invest in your teammates, and admit when you need help. Be open to corrections and advice. Feedback is the breakfast of champions, and a good communicator is a good listener. (4) Don’t take things personal. (5) Give it all you have got. Paul, Timothy’s mentor, said to him: concentrate on doing work… work you won’t be ashamed of.  2 Tim 2:15. Good leaders empower others.

Point of Emphasis: Work together with the same purpose.

Prayer Point: Lord, give me the grace not to take things personally.
