WHAT IS LEADERSHIP?

Leadership is the capacity and will to rally men and women to a common purpose and the character which inspires confidence.

How can we know (that they are) a true leader?

• By their fruit
• By their character
• (Not of their skills or talent / potentials)

The foundation of leader is your character.

WHAT IS CHARACTER?

1. Character is  more than talk.
2. Talent is a gift, but character is a choice.
3. Character brings lasting success with people.
4. Leadership cannot rise above the limitations of their character.

Leadership and character must be EQUAL.

- Your characters determines of who you are.

- What you have done is is just an outward part.

- The way you response reflect your character.

FOR ACTION:

 

1. Search For The Cracks

• Spend time looking at the major areas of your life (work, marriage, family and ministry, etc.) and identify anywhere you might have cut corners, compromised or let people down.

2. Look For Pattern

3. Face The Music

• The beginning of character repair comes when you face your flaws, apologize and deal with the consequences of your action.

4. Rebuild

• It’s one thing to face up to your past actions. It’s another way to build a new future.
• Now that you’re identified any areas of weakness, create a plan that will prevent you from making the same mistakes again.

———-         REFLECTION:

A man took his young daughter to a carnival and she immediately ran over to a booth and asked for a cotton candy. As the attendant handed her the huge ball of it, the father ask,  “sweetheart, are you sure you can it all that?”, ” Don’t worry dad,” she answered “…I’m a lot bigger on the inside than the outside”

Real character is being bigger on the inside. Character is based of who you are.
