Leadership Essentials: Shaping Vision, Multiplying Influence, Defining Character

Leadership is essential. Maybe you've shied away from leadership because you don't know what it will involve, or you feel too unsure of your own abilities. But your leadership is needed! In every sector of society, from families to businesses to churches, leadership roles remain empty, waiting for people willing and able to step up and make wise decisions that bring positive change. And, in a world with priorities vastly different from Christ's, Christian leaders are especially needed to point people to him. Preparation is essential. As essential as the leadership itself is the preparation beforehand, which is why Greg Ogden, a seasoned leader himself, has created this interactive guide that will give you the tools you need to lead well, using your unique gifts and experience. Divided into four sections, this workbook will help you develop character, postures, vision and skills as you participate in the following elements in each chapter:a memory versea Bible studya readinga leadership exerciseaboutLeadership Essentials

    Pride is a hidden sin. It operates under the veil of the lack of self-awareness. C. S. Lewis put it this way in Mere Christianity, “There is no fault which we are more unconscious of in ourselves... If anyone would like to acquire humility, I can, I think, tell them the first step. The step is to realize that one is proud. And a biggish step, too.”
  • IrenaWhohas quoted7 years ago
    The opposite of humility is pride and possession. These impulses get us into trouble because we subtly become the focus. Humility and self-conceit are direct opposites. C. S. Lewis calls pride “the complete anti-God state of mind.”

    them to follow another. As those who were formerly in his fold began to drift toward Jesus, John could have felt his life was draining away. But there was no tug of war. This is the mark of true humility.
