STOP AND THINK – Nothing so conclusively proves a man’s ability to lead others as what he does from day to day to lead himself. (Thomas Watson, chairman and CEO of IBM)
Many people aspire to be leaders. They think they can manage other people and lead them to accomplish worthy achievements. Before giving such a person the authority to be the boss, it would be wise to examine his or her life to see how they conduct their own affairs. If they have led themselves well, then you can count on them to do the same at the head of a team.
Then I will give you shepherds after my own heart, who will lead you with knowledge and understanding. (Jeremiah 3:15)
