We learn to lead by reading (studies and stories of leaders)
We learn to lead by leading (experiential learning that pushes us)
We learn to lead by heeding (ourselves in reflective journaling and one another in reflective conversation)

The Greek approach to education:

This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night [Greek = knowledge and understanding], so that you may be careful to do [Hebrew = implementation] according to all that is written in it. Joshua 1:8a
If you know these things, you are blessed if you do them. John 13:17

The nature of
leadership
in our day
Once upon a time we simply obeyed orders issued by our superiors, our leaders, our managers. Now we incline more to challenge them, emboldened to do so by the spread of democracy, by the rhetoric of empowerment, and by the practice of participation. The evidence of the decline in respect for authority is everywhere—and everywhere are leaders who labor to lead. The change is cultural, contextual. Norms are now such that followers demand more… and leaders succumb more often.
Barbara Kellerman
Becoming a leader has become a mantra. The leadership industry has exploded in the last thirty or forty years---in part the result of the following trends: first the historical trajectory to weakened leaders, strengthened followers, and more complicated contexts; second, an acceleration of this shift.
Barbara Kellerman
For us the invitation is, “Learn to lead like Jesus!”

I wonder if sometime around 50 years
ago a great mental tide began to sweep
across the world. Before the tide,
people saw themselves in certain fixed
places in the social order. They
accepted opinions from trusted
authorities. As the tide swept through,
they began to see themselves
differently…
They felt they should express their
own views, and these views deserve
respect. They mentally bumped
themselves up to first class and had
a different set of expectations of how
they should be treated.

Scripture
Leadership can happen anywhere at any time.
Leadership is not about personality; its about behavior.
Try, fail, learn. Try, fail, learn. Try, fail, learn. That is the leader’s mantra.
The Leadership Challenge - Kouzes and Posner
Leadership is not a gene and it’s not an inheritance. Leadership is an identifiable set of skills and abilities that are available to all of us. The “great person” – woman or man – theory of leadership is just plain wrong.

The Circle of
the Leader
Leadership begins with the leader: who and what you are. For who you are, the kind of person you are, the character you have, has a great deal to do with who will follow you and where they will follow you and how far they will follow you.
