How do Dr. Ward’s definitions of leadership, ministry, and calling compare with your own?
-
Leadership is the instructional ability to guide other through the use of motivational influence and schemes designed to produce results. Leaders can be good natured like Dr Martin Luther King Jr. or bad like Adolf Hitler. Sometimes we choose our leadership but other times we can be forced to serve under harsh treatment or behavior.

I always thought of leadership as a person in charge of a company. A boss or leader. I did not think of it in terms of whatever you are good at and have gifts in can also be defined as leadership, especially when working with others.
-
When I was younger, I thought that leadership required a specific title, but as I have grown my understanding has come more to align with the authors definition.
-
Leadership is exhibited in any area where you have influence or significant input. If you are in charge then you are a leader but a follower can have a leadership role also. To me leadership is guiding or directing . It is active and far more than a title or position.

My understanding and definition of leadership has always been someone God has equipped to lead a group of people to the truth. Leadership has to be a calling and not only a longing.
