    Managing is doing the job and leadership is getting others involved in the mission and vision is what the job is all about.

    I would have said before that A leader leads. As a matter of fact, in one of my mentoring sessions, it was a discussion of whether I did/would lead from the back. There was much debate between us. And I had decided that maybe I was not a leader and had never been a leader. But now, after coming far through this course, I look very different, and the funny thing about it is that I understand it as if my mind has opened up to the possibilities. I look at Leadership like this now. For example, A Visionary Leader says to their followers – We want to move out of this storefront church because the rent is too high; we will work on the finances on what we need and what we have already. We love our CHRIST! We love our CHURCH! We love our COMMUNITY! – We want to see more of our community in our House of Worship, so we will reach out to more of the community – leaders and schools – i.e., to let them know that we are here. We will come up with a new mission and vision – we are going to the street to bring others to Christ first, and we believe that this will assist us in getting into a new building of our own in the future. Now for Situational Leadership – The leaders of this church are going to teach through the Word and assistance from processes getting members to grow in their faith, get excited about following Christ, then draw others to worship services and church activities – through the member telling others about us, family and friends, and other – spreading the Gospel. Transforming Leadership -We are going to fast and pray, the Sunday School curriculum will be developed, we will continue our 5:55 AM Facebook Live (invite others to join us online), and we will also have a monthly session for members to speak with us, the Pastor, the Ministers, and other leaders to let us know their needs, aspirations, and expectations. All will lead to the Servant Leadership portion – We say to the members we want to engage you in what we as Leaders see for the future of this House of Worship for all of us here now and ones that will be coming through these doors soon.

    A good leader is a servant leader. A leader is someone who leads and takes people somewhere.

    I think I would have said that “good leaders don’t define themselves as such, but rather let those they lead answer that question for them.” I would stick to a similar answer after this first section of the course, do think this first video gave me a better understanding of what a leader is.

    I would’ve said a leader is one who does the hard things, sets an example and never lets the bar drop. Now I see a leader as one who also holds their teams to that standard because of what they know the future can be, not just being a micro manager and thinking short term.
