Week 12 Learning Leadership April 7th 09

12. Learning Leadership – Anton Folz

When you learn from your own mistakes, a leader is making small and significant progress. This is the natural and progressive way to move along in one’s understanding of their leadership roles and responsibilities. However if one is able to learn from others’ mistakes and bypass making those same mistakes themselves, that is where significant and powerful change and leadership development takes place. Having this ability and insight is highly desirable for a leader, so that they may maintain a strong Christian witness, and so that they can focus on moving ahead rather than always looking back at what they have done so that thy can continue to move in the correct direction. When a leader can keep their walk blameless and their focus and attention on the goals and direction that the church is headed in, then they can guide and motivate the people around them to also be moving in the direction that church is headed.
