This is a work which has been presented at the 3rd Spiritist Conference of Atlanta in 2010. The paper goes into detail of how the spiritism help us better understand the role of the leader as a spiritual being.
In the modern era leadership is often understood in secular terms, such as political or corporate leadership. This presentation considers the relevance of religion and spirituality to leadership and good governance. Themes include spiritual growth, life after death, and the existence of a spiritual world.
When we look at the human elements of spiritual growth across our lifespan, we observe phases of development mentally, educationally, morally. Many attempts have been made to identify the growth of values and their impact economically, environmentally, academically, nationally. We briefly review six of these. What is the work of the Holy Spirit in generating these values in individuals and cultures?
Progressions from Spiritual Revival to Societal Transformation. This is developed from the book The Spirit of Christ and the Postmodern City by Viv Grigg. A set of course resources is available at www.http://www.urbanleaders.org/620Leadership/

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

1. SPIRITUAL LEADERSHIP
TAKING CHARGE OF YOUR (SPIRITUAL) LIFE
3rd Spiritist Congress of Atlanta
Gláucio Pessoa – Christian Spiritst Community of Atlanta
6. Power vs. Authority
•What is Power?
Power is the ability to force or coerce someone to perform
a desired task or adopt a desired behavior solely based on
one’s position or might, even if that someone would prefer
not to.
Power can be granted, taken, sold or bought.
•What is Authority?
Authority is the ability to direct others to willingly execute
actions or follow guidelines based on one’s personal
influence.
7. Power vs. Authority
Historical Example: Indian Independence
Movement
•Gandhi, a 4.8 ft tall man who weighed around 110 lb
lived in an opressed nation with around 1/3 Billion
people, which was under Britanic dominance.
8. Power vs. Authority
Historical Example: Indian Independence
Movement (Cont.)
•People were skeptical
when Ghandi declared
that he would free his
nation without the use of
force.

system which Great
Britain imposed over his
people.
9. Power vs. Authority
Historical Example: Indian Independence
Movement (Cont.)
•Ghandi and his followers underwent
extreme suffering in a non-violent
struggle. Ghandi himself was arrested
and punished several times due his
acts of peaceful civil desobedience.
•Finally, in 1947, not only Great Britain
granted independence to India, but also
received Ghandi as a hero in London.
•Ghandi had achieved his goals with no
violence, power or weapons. All he
used was his personal influence.
10. Defining Leadership

follow.

Chapter VI:
274. Do the different degrees which exist in the advancement of
spirits establish among the latter a hierarchy of powers? Are
there, among spirits, subordination and authority?
"Yes; the authority of spirits over one another, in virtue of their
relative superiority, is very great, and gives to the higher ones a
moral ascendancy over the lower ones which is absolutely
irresistible."
12. We Are All Leaders
• We are all leaders:
Choices
• Freewill
Action and Reaction
• Family and friendship ties
• Human functions
