5 Ministry Thoughts and Leadership Principles

1. When leading people EMPOWER them. By this I mean see where they are gifted and strengthen them, resource them, mentor them, and let them loose in that area of giftedness.

2. When leading people give them CONFIDENCE. Lead so that everyone you lead can do your job. Give people opportunities to do what you do so that when they are in that situation they can have the confidence they need to lead effectively.

3. When leading people lead in such a way as to REPLACE yourself. You aren't going to be in your position forever. What better testament is there of your leadership than seeing the people you mentored succeed far beyond what you did?

4. Lead with your HEART. If you are connecting with God then your heart will be in line with God's heart and when your heart and God's heart are one you can't be stopped.

5. Attack your dreams with your GIFTING. Maintain your weaknesses but really focus on your strengths and use them.
