The Greek approach to education:
The more you know the more
educated you are!

The Hebrew approach to education:
You are as educated as you do what
you know!

This Book of the Law shall not depart
from your mouth, but you shall meditate
on it day and night [Greek = knowledge
and understanding], so that you may be
careful to do [Hebrew = implementation]
according to all that is written in it.
Joshua 1:8a
If you know these things, you are blessed
if you do them. John 13:17

The nature of
leadership
in our day

Once upon a time we simply obeyed
orders issued by our superiors, our
leaders, our managers. Now we incline
more to challenge them, emboldened to
do so by the spread of democracy, by the
rhetoric of empowerment, and by the
practice of participation. The evidence of
the decline in respect for authority is
everywhere—and everywhere are leaders
who labor to lead. The change is cultural,
contextual. Norms are now such that
followers demand more… and leaders
succumb more often.
Barbara Kellerman

Becoming a leader has become a
mantra. The leadership industry
has exploded in the last thirty or
forty years---in part the result of
the following trends: first the
historical trajectory to weakened
leaders, strengthened followers,
and more complicated contexts;
second, an acceleration of this
shift.
Barbara Kellerman

I wonder if sometime around 50 years
ago a great mental tide began to sweep
across the world. Before the tide,
people saw themselves in certain fixed
places in the social order. They
accepted opinions from trusted
authorities. As the tide swept through,
they began to see themselves
differently…

They felt they should express their
own views, and these views deserve
respect. They mentally bumped
themselves up to first class and had
a different set of expectations of how
they should be treated.
David Brooks

Scripture

Leadership can happen anywhere
at any time.
Leadership is not about
personality; its about behavior.
Try, fail, learn. Try, fail, learn. Try,
fail, learn. That is the leader’s
mantra.
The Leadership Challenge - Kouzes and Posner

Leadership is not a gene and it’s
not an inheritance. Leadership
is an identifiable set of skills
and abilities that are available
to all of us. The “great person”
– woman or man – theory of
leadership is just plain wrong.
Kouzes and Posner

The Circle of
the Leader

The
Circle of
the
Leader
Leadership begins with the leader:
who and what you are. For who you
are, the kind of person you are, the
character you have, has a great deal
to do with who will follow you and
where they will follow you and how
far they will follow you.

Grow as a disciple of Jesus
A pupil is not above his
teacher; but everyone, after he
has been fully trained, will be
like his teacher. Jesus Christ
Luke 6:40

Integrity
Humility
Tenacity
Godly Gumption

Power without control is nothing!

Using a “Rule of Life”
A disciple is not above
the teacher, but
everyone who is fully
qualified will be like
the teacher. Luke 6:40
