The Maxwell Leadership Reading Plan

DAY 21 OF 30

The Heart of an Effective Leader

Who you are comes before what you do. Leadership is “being” before “doing.”

As Paul spoke to the Ephesians, he described the ingredients of an effective leader. Paul led from his soul. He made tough calls, yet shed tears in front of his people. One thing is sure: Leadership begins with the heart. Paul had a heart that was...

  1. Consistent — he lived steadily while moving among them (v.18).
  2. Contrite — he acted humbly and willingly showed his weakness (v. 19).
  3. Courageous — he didn’t shrink from doing the right thing (v. 20).
  4. Convictional — he communicated his convictions boldly (v. 21).
  5. Committed — he left for Jerusalem, willing to die for Jesus (vv. 22, 23).
  6. Captivated — he showed that a surrendered man doesn’t have to survive (v. 24).
