1. What is leadership?
You may be listening to Leadership Moment and wondering what exactly do we mean by leadership? So often, people assume that a leader is someone who manages others in a business or ministry setting, but leadership is so much more than that!
"Leadership is influence. Nothing more; nothing less." -John C. Maxwell
Therefore, leadership entails the level of potential impact and effectiveness an individual can make in this lifetime.
2. Who can be a leader?
Absolutely anyone. No matter your position or situation in life, you can be a leader, not just tomorrow but today.
Often times, we believe that leaders are the ones who hold the title or are born into a higher position. But have you ever had a boss or supervisor that was obviously not a leader? Well, the same goes for the people who may not hold the superior position, but has the full respect from those around them.
John Hull explains that "Leadership is using my God-given influence for a worthwhile cause." And therefore, everyone has this gift.
Absolutely anyone who wishes to be effective can learn to be a leader!
3. Are there different kinds of leaders?
At Leadership Moment, we believe there are two types of leaders: HABITUAL leaders and SITUATIONAL leaders.
Habitual leaders are the natural ones, who tend to be good at leading whatever group they are in. They feel natural taking charge and running point on just about any project. They lead out of habit.
Situational leaders are those people who make up the majority of the population. Most of them don’t even feel like leaders—until they find the right situation that fits their passions and their strengths. Once in the area of their strength, they come alive and become the right one to lead in that particular situation.
4. How could I be a leader?
Whether you are a stay-at-home mom or a business executive, you can exercise influence and leadership in your life.
Sociologists believe the most introverted of people will influence 10,000 others in an average lifetime. In others words, every one of us, even the shy ones, are influencing people around them. If you became intentional about the way you influence others, imagine the impact you could have!
As John C. Maxwell teaches, “Leaders are developed daily, not in a day.”
5. Why will Leadership Moment help me on my leadership journey?
Here at Leadership Moment, we believe it is our daily decisions that help develop us into lifetime leaders. The choices you make today will effect the influence you will have later on.
One of these right choices is to learn to apply the Biblical lessons taught by John Hull through Leadership Moment. This is a useful, daily tool to help fine tune your skills as a leader. It is through intentional application that we raise the lid of influence!
"Everything rises and falls on leadership," explains John Maxwell. "Leadership ability is the lid that determines a person's level of effectiveness."
6. What are other resources that will help me become a better leader?
We believe that tools and resources are an essential part of the leadership development journey. These thoughtful, focused resources are designed to help develop you and others into innovative, effective leaders of faith and integrity.
