Refreshing Daily in God's Word: Daily Devotion: Some Thoughts About Leadership

True and genuine leaders are quite self-sacrificial, aren't they?

What comes to mind is Jesus, washing His disciples feet, as He ministered to them, demonstrating what true leadership is.

And i agree with all of these:

• You must be willing to stand alone.
• You must be willing to go against public opinion in order to promote what you believe.
• You must be willing to risk failure.
• You must become master of your emotions.
• You must strive to remain above reproach.
• You must be willing to make decisions others don’t want to make.
• You must be willing to say no at times, even when you’d like to say yes.
• You must sometimes be willing to sacrifice personal interests for the good of the group.
• You must never be content with the average; you must always strive for the best.
• People must be more important to you than possessions.
• You will have to work harder to keep your life in balance than people do who are not leaders.

A true and genuine leader is courageous.

Thank you for this thought-provoking study and meditation on this cold, wintry Friday morning in December, brother.

God bless you.
