Leadership means many things to many people…I think it means being proactive… being the first.
…I know that leading means:
- taking the initiative
- setting the standard
- managing
- planning
- resourcing
- identifying vision, goals and priorities
- being the example always….
A good leader takes responsibility and says” the buck stops here”.
Leaders show the way and model by example what they’re trying to accomplish.
They press on and press in, and they run counter to the culture of convenience… they refuse to get stuck in the “bright and shiny objects”, diversions, and side eddies of our culture.
They strain and strive with intentionality and energy to build relationships and create a legacy and heritage and their families…. I do much of this is simply by taking the initiative, being intentional and planning by writing and accomplishing compelling goals that are relationship based…
Who is leading your family?
Who is leading your children?
If not you, who? If not now, when?
