Effective Leaders

Don’t dominate the people you lead; don’t stifle them—help them experience joy! (Scott Morton, fund-raising coach)

Whether you worked your way to the top or are the leader by default, it’s important that you treat those who work for you in ways that help them do well while they’re making you look good. The most effective leaders will have success if they keep in mind that their followers are part of a team that has mutually acceptable goals and loves what they do.

Wise and knowledgeable leaders bring stability (Proverbs 28:2). Don’t lord it over the people assigned to your care, but lead them by your own good example (1 Peter 5:3).
