Thoughts on spiritual leadership
Random thoughts on leadership:
You have to have followers. If nobody follows you, you are not a leader. don't care what title you have, you aren't.
If you to tell everyone you are a leader, or ask to be a leader, you probably are not.
Being a boss is not the same as being a leader.
Being in charge is not the same as being a leader.
Leaders take people places, even if those following do not know the destination. They follow the leader.
Persuaders are not always leaders. Power to delegate does not make you a leader.
Who you are is more important to a leader than what you are.
God calls leaders in the church, not men. Men just need to recognize who God is calling, and who He is not calling.
Leaders are not always popular, or liked. But they are often loved.
The main function of a spiritual leader (whether leading your personal family or the family of God) is to follow Jesus personally.
The main goal is to get all your followers to Jesus.
Think about these principles in the life of Jesus.

While still thinking these through.......a leader is sometimes the most powerful when he is the least recognized....and when he/she is the first to stand with Jesus, is at times the loneliest person in the room....I wonder if Jesus would be considered the same [spiritual leader] way, if he was born and lived in this 'modern age' we call our own.
