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.”
