1. This document discusses principles for leaders from various Bible passages. It discusses the importance of integrity, humility, wisdom, and establishing boundaries. Leaders must be committed to integrity even when no one is watching. God is ultimately the one who puts leaders in power and removes them, so leaders should submit to His authority. Good leaders pursue excellence and set high standards for themselves and others rather than just setting goals.
