The Leader

Can you pick out the leader?

He is the one others are following.

Leadership

“If you want to know who the leaders are,

look and see if there is anyone following

them.” [John Wimber]

“Leadership is influence.” [John Maxwell]

Adam Grant in his book “Give and Take: A

Revolutionary Approach to Success” writes:

• Research suggests that there are two fundamental paths

to influence: dominance and prestige. When we establish

dominance, we gain influence because others see us as

strong, powerful, and authoritative. When we earn

prestige, we become influential because others respect and

admire us.

Our model for leadership has to

be Jesus.

As God, He could have come into this world as a conqueror.

Jesus could have used “dominance” to influence people .

But He chose to use “prestige.”

Jesus is a good model of a leader.

Identity

You have to know who

you are and what you

were created to be.

Self Confidence:

We must eliminate our

fears of failure,

rejection, and/or

humiliation.

Purpose

Leaders must walk with

purpose.

Integrity –

James 3:13-18

Servanthood

Servant leaders are

givers,

They help others

become successful.

The Giver

Anatomy of a Giver

“A generous man will prosper; he who refreshes others will himself be refreshed.”

Proverbs 11:25

Givers and Takers

Givers give more than they get,

Takers get more than they give.

Matchers operate on the concept of fairness.

They believe in reciprocity, “You do this for me

and I will do that for you.”

Dealing with Finances

Dealing with Finances

John Wesley summed up his wise

financial methods with his

statement,

"Make all you can,

Save all you can,

Give all you can."

Dealing with Finances

In some places today the policy

might be summed up,

Take all you can,

Spend all you can

Borrow all you can.”

Two problems why people fail to

give

The first problem is ownership.

People feel that they have earned the money. It is theirs

Everything we have was given to us by God.

The second issue is lack of vision.

Vision is most significant issue in any stewardship campaign

Submit

Submission

Is it a Doormat? Or an Elevator?

Motivation

Motivation

Extrinsic motivation comes from

the outside;

your mother threatens you with pain if you do not go to church

or your boss gives you a raise if you do better on the job.

Motivation

Intrinsic motivation comes from

the inside;

the feeling of accomplishment,

the satisfaction of helping someone.

Intrinsic motivation just makes you feel good.

Motivation Daniel Pink, “Drive: The Surprising Truth

About What Motivates Us,”

when the task became more complicated

and requires even a bit of conceptual or creative thinking,

extrinsic rewards failed to motivate

and even reduced levels of performance.

Motivation

Three Majot Motivating Factors

Autonomy

Mastery

Significance

Autonomy

First element of motivation

Autonomy

Most people today want to feel they have

ownership over their life which allows them

some control of their destiny.

In this post modern age, people are less

likely to accept authoritarian leadership.

Autonomy

Frank Tillapaugh – “Unleashing the Church”

Organic versus Hierarchical leadership

Virginia Postrel “The Future and its Enemies,”

Roland Allen, The Spontaneous Expansion of the

Church:

Growing Autonomy

Autonomy is ownership

Delegate

Participatory management

Give up some control

Listen to what people say.

Let them feel they are heard.

Mastery

Second element of motivation

According to Maslow people seek the frontiers of creativity, the highest reaches of consciousness and wisdom.

This has been labeled a "fully functioning person", "healthy personality", or as Maslow calls this level, "self-actualizing person."

The most discouraging words you can hear from someone are, “I am no good at anything.”

Growing Mastery

Strive for excellence

Provide opportunities and guidance to help

each person reach their purpose and

destiny.

Provide Resources.

Significant Purpose

Third element of motivation

Specific Purpose

A clear, focused, purpose must answer three specific questions:

Who am I?

Why am I here?

Where am I going?

Purpose Begins with a vision

Vision

Vision

According to John Maxwell, vision requires

four elements;

the ability to see,

the faith to believe,

the courage to do,

and the hope to endure.

INJOY Life Club Volume 4, Lesson 10

Fresh Vision

“A TASK WITHOUT A VISION IS DRUDGERY,

A VISION WITHOUT A TASK IS BUT A DREAM,

A VISION WITH A TASK CAN CHANGE THE WORLD.”
