3. The Leader

4. Can you pick out the leader?
He is the one others are following.

5. Leadership
 “If you want to know who the leaders are,
look and see if there is anyone following
them.” [John Wimber]
 “Leadership is influence.” [John Maxwell]

6. Adam Grant in his book “Give and Take: A
Revolutionary Approach to Success” writes:
• Research suggests that there are two fundamental paths
to influence: dominance and prestige. When we establish
dominance, we gain influence because others see us as
strong, powerful, and authoritative. When we earn
prestige, we become influential because others respect and
admire us.

7. Our model for leadership has to
be Jesus.
 As God, He could have come into this world
as a conqueror.
 Jesus could have used “dominance” to
influence people .
 But He chose to use “prestige.”

8. Jesus is a good model of a leader.
 Identity
 You have to know who
you are and what you
were created to be.
 Self Confidence:
 We must eliminate our
fears of failure,
rejection, and/or
humiliation.
 Purpose
 Leaders must walk with
purpose.
 Integrity –
 James 3:13-18
 Servanthood
 Servant leaders are
givers,
 They help others
become successful.

9. The Giver

10. Anatomy of a Giver
“A generous man will prosper;
he who refreshes others will himself be refreshed.”
Proverbs 11:25
 Givers and Takers
 Givers give more than they get,
 Takers get more than they give.
 Matchers operate on the concept of fairness.
They believe in reciprocity, “You do this for me
and I will do that for you.”

11. Dealing with Finances

12. Dealing with Finances
 John Wesley summed up his wise
financial methods with his
statement,
"Make all you can,
Save all you can,
Give all you can."

13. Dealing with Finances
In some places today the policy
might be summed up,
Take all you can,
Spend all you can
Borrow all you can.”

14. Two problems why people fail to
give
 The first problem is ownership.
 People feel that they have earned the money. It
is theirs
 Everything we have was given to us by God.
 The second issue is lack of vision.
 Vision is most significant issue in any
stewardship campaign

15. Submit

16. Submission
Is it a Doormat? Or an Elevator?

17. Motivation

18. Motivation
 Extrinsic motivation comes from
the outside;
your mother threatens you with pain
if you do not go to church
or your boss gives you a raise if you
do better on the job.

19. Motivation
 Intrinsic motivation comes from
the inside;
the feeling of accomplishment,
the satisfaction of helping someone.
Intrinsic motivation just makes you
feel good.

20. Motivation
 Daniel Pink, “Drive: The Surprising Truth
About What Motivates Us,”
when the task became more
complicated
and requires even a bit of conceptual
or creative thinking,
extrinsic rewards failed to motivate
and even reduced levels of
performance.

21. Motivation
 Three Majot Motivating Factors
Autonomy
Mastery
Significance

22. Autonomy
First element of motivation

23. Autonomy
 Most people today want to feel they have
ownership over their life which allows them
some control of their destiny.
 In this post modern age, people are less
likely to accept authoritarian leadership.

24. Autonomy
 Frank Tillapaugh – “Unleashing the Church”
 Organic versus Hierarchical leadership
 Virginia Postrel “The Future and its Enemies,”
 Roland Allen, The Spontaneous Expansion of the
Church:

25. Growing Autonomy
 Autonomy is ownership
 Delegate
 Participatory management
 Give up some control
 Listen to what people say.
 Let them feel they are heard.

26. Mastery
Second element of motivation

28.  According to Maslow people seek the
frontiers of creativity, the highest reaches of
consciousness and wisdom.
 This has been labeled a "fully functioning
person", "healthy personality", or as
Maslow calls this level, "self-actualizing
person."
 The most discouraging words you can hear
from someone are, “I am no good at
anything.”

29. Growing Mastery
 Strive for excellence
 Provide opportunities and guidance to help
each person reach their purpose and
destiny.
 Provide Resources.

30. Significant Purpose
Third element of motivation

31. Specific Purpose
 A clear, focused, purpose must answer three
specific questions:
 Who am I?
 Why am I here?
 Where am I going?
 Purpose Begins with a vision

32. Vision

33. Vision
 According to John Maxwell, vision requires
four elements;
 the ability to see,
 the faith to believe,
 the courage to do,
 and the hope to endure.
 INJOY Life Club Volume 4, Lesson 10

34. Fresh Vision

35. “A TASK WITHOUT A VISION IS
DRUDGERY,
A VISION WITHOUT A TASK
IS BUT A DREAM,
A VISION WITH A TASK
CAN CHANGE THE WORLD.”
[ANONYMOUS]
