We Need New Leaders

Responding to the cry of the 21st century
Christlike Leaders for Every Church and Sector 101
Much is written, spoken, and taught about leadership, but there is a notable lack of leadership excellence. If we want a generation of Christlike leaders in our churches and society, we need to unlearn a secular perspective of leadership, and recover Jesus’ model. Our priority is to be Christ’s ambassadors (2 Cor 5:20) in a world that acknowledges, we need new leaders.

• Followers First
  Our effectiveness as leaders will be directly proportional to being Spirit-led followers of the master-leader, Jesus Christ.
• Character before Charisma, Competence and Credentials
• Perseverance not Platform
  [Francis Chan] says that whenever he steps on a stage it’s like drinking a little bit of poison. . . . the adulation of fans can be toxic, addictive, and dangerous.
• Interdependence not Independence
  Part of leadership is knowing when to follow. You have to know when to get out of the way.
• Others not Self
