Question:
I keep reading good leadership books but don't feel like a leader. Why?
Answer:
There are lots of great leadership books written out there today. And
many of them will tell you: “If you want to be a great leader, lead like
me.”
What happens when you’re not like them? What if you’re not like the
individual who wrote the book?
Leading from your strengths is about discovering how God created
you, and how you can discover your God-given strengths and lead with
them.
In 1 Corinthians 12:15 it says: “If the foot shall say, Because I am not
the hand, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body?”
The scripture tells us emphatically not. We’re part of the body,
because we bring a valuable part.
You too, as a leader, are unique. You bring a valuable part.
What we tend to see leaders do is journey after things God didn’t give
them, to become something God didn’t create them to be.
Let me encourage you to discover what God put in you, and to lead
with that.
