Great Leaders

Interviewing a Leader...

This is Kayla.

When deciding whom to choose to interview for my blog post, I began to think of those who stood out to me as having leadership qualities.

I instantly thought of Kayla.

I Skyped Kayla to ask her some questions about her viewpoint on leadership. In talking with her for over an hour, I was able to compile some thoughts and ideas of which i know will be helpful.

"Two Leadership Qualities"

LOYALTY

A leader must support the group he or she is leading

There must be a vision! It there is not vision the people will fall

NO STRUCTURE – recipe for disaster

They must set goals and act upon them

They must start something AND finish it

HONESTY

You cannot expect someone to follow you if they do not trust you.

Be open with what you are wanting to get across: it helps everyone be on the same page

They care about the people underneath them

"Accountability"

Leadership makes you accountable in walk with God

It pushes you to that next level

 Leadership should not be a reason for you to have your devotions - "doing it because that is what is expected of you."

 it should make you want to grow because God wants you to grow

Addressing people under you:

Before address something

1.     Don’t react with emotions

2.     Think through before confronting

3.     Look at why they didn’t do what you asked

4.     Have compassion

5.     Everything is not black and white

6.     Go to that person personally not through someone else

Goals:

A Leader should be a goal oriented and structured person

Set these Goals and encourage people along the way to get involved.

Help motivate people towards what your goal is.

Goal: A big thing – made into little things to reach the big thing.

Being a leader...

Leadership - It's a scary thought.....

Being in leadership can be a daunting thought. Well, it may not be for you, but it definitely is for me. There is so much responsibility and commitment that must be present in order for you to be an effective leader. But whether we like it or not - everyone is a leader is some way.

I'm not alone...

One thing is for sure, I am so glad that I am not alone in this. I have an ultimate guide who cares for me and will teach me how to lead those He has placed in my life. I think it's cool! God knows every person that will come across my path and placed them their for a reason! 

But sometimes I lose sight of "my ultimate guide and leader." I become scared because I view myself as going at all this alone.

• When I think of leadership I'm overwhelmed because:
• Everyone is different
• We all have different personalities
• Our backgrounds are different 
• What we believe is different
• We all view life differently

How can I effectively lead people if everyone view things so differently!?? What if people don't like me!? What if people don't listen to me?? What if I'm wrong. What if I lead them down the wrong road.

A leader is someone who is not afraid to follow or lead. Yes - that's right. A leader is a FOLLOWER and a LEADER.
