Qualities of leadership

As God continues to grow (both numerically and in substance) the local church I have the privilege to be a part of, the greater the need is for high capacity leaders to be identified, trained up and released. And not only high capacity leaders, but quality leaders who know or can learn how to play their role in the context of team. Below are a few pointers of what to look for when identifying leaders and they can also be turned around and have the question asked, do I have these qualities. Hope they're helpful.



Look for these qualities of leadership in people:

1.) Positiveness (work+view)
2.) Servanthood (other before one’s self)
3.) Growth potential (hunger for it)
4.) Follow through ( completeness)
5.) Loyalty (God before personal desires)
6.) Resiliency (ability to bounce back)
7.) Integrity (character/trust/words and walk)
8.) “Big picture” mindset (see how it all fits)(puts things into perspective)
9.) Discipline (do what is required)
10.) Gratitude (thankfulness is a way of life)
11.) Team work (works well with others and leaders)
12.) Fellowship (easily gets behind leader and vision)
13.) Excellence (extra touches and effort)
