Effective Leadership

Good leadership starts begins with:

-          Confidence in yourself, in others, in your cause, and confidence in God’s promise of assistance.

-          Optimism – a belief that the goal is not only good but that it will be reached.

-          Knowledge – an understanding of the problems you are facing, and deciding what needs to be done – and then, get it done!

-          Concern for others – a charity that reaches out to every human being.

-          Decisiveness – the ability to weigh options, make decisions and implement them.

-          Openness – a respect for the opinions of all and a desire to work with people of divergent views, backgrounds, and personalities.

-          Good example – a willingness to help with even menial tasks, to be out in front and to support the members of the group in their endeavors.

-          Patience – the willingness to let ideas ripen, to plan adequately and to await for the right time for action.

-          Courage – to withstand criticism, to sacrifice yourself, to resist pressure and to continue in the face of adversity.

-          Communication – the ability to understand what others are trying to say and to convey decisions and action plans clearly.
