Leadership

I've been thinking about this quite a bit and I've come to the conclusion that leaders can really only work successfully for other leaders. I think if your personality is more of a manager you are able to work for a leader or a fellow manager but if you're a leader you'll become frustrated and stifled if you work under a manager. "What does a leader look like?" you might be asking and believe me if you want to know there are a million books out there that talk about it. Here is a list of some qualities I believe a leader has:

A leader...

1. realizes God put them in that place for a specific time and reason
2. realizes they won't be there forever so they look for pass on things to the next generation
3. seeks God's wisdom
4. has a vision for the future
5. isn't afraid to make tough decisions
6. listens to those around him
7. communicates the vision to everyone
8. isn't afraid to take calculated risks
9. will rally people around a big idea
10. is constantly asking questions on how things can be better
11. isn't satisfied
12. loves to see others around him succeed
13. wants to be the go to person
14. takes ownership of the decision
15. is strategic

I'm sure you can think of more and I'd love to hear your thoughts as well!
