Leading Like a Shepherd
God’s principles of leadership work anywhere.
· God’s principles speak to the human heart.
· God’s principles accomplish different purposes.
Thinking like a shepherd.
· It’s never about the shepherd, it’s all about the sheep—Psalm 23:1
· A shepherd often leads where the sheep don’t want to go—Psalm 23:2
· Protect, provide and guide—Psalm 23:4-5
· The shepherd has bigger goals than the sheep realize—Psalm 23:6
Leadership is the art of the possible, not the ideal.
· This is the most difficult truth for leaders to understand.
· The ideal is the ideal because it’s not possible.
Fall in love with the Good Shepherd and the sheep.
· Do you get to do your job or have to do your job.
· Are you more concerned about you or the sheep.
Lead by example.
· Live the life you want the people who follow you to live.
· You get what you are when you lead.
Lead knowing you will stand before God.
