12 Killers of Good Leadership
Here are 12 killers of good leadership:
Defensiveness – Good leaders don’t wear their feelings on their shoulders. They know other’s opinions matter and aren’t afraid to be challenged.
Jealousy – A good leader enjoys watching others on the team excel.
Revenge – The leader that succeeds for the long term must be forgiving and knows that “getting even” only comes back to harm them and the organization.
Fearfulness – The good leader remains committed when no one else is and must take risks no one else will. Others will follow. That’s what leaders do.
Favoritism - Good leaders don’t have favorites on the team. They reward for results not partiality.
Ungratefulness - Good leaders value people, knowing they cannot attain success without others.
Small-mindedness – Good leaders think bigger than today. They are dreamers and idea people.
Pridefulness - Pride comes before the fall. Good leaders remain humbled by the position of authority entrusted to them.
Rigidity - There are some things to be rigid about, such as values and vision, but for most issues, the leader must be open to change. Good leaders welcome new ideas, realizing that most everything can be improved.
Laziness – One can’t be a good leader and not be willing to work hard. In fact, the leader should be willing to be the hardest worker on the team.
Unresponsiveness – Good leaders don’t lead from behind closed doors. They are responsive to the needs and desires of those they attempt to lead. They respond to concerns and questions. They collaborate more than control. Leaders who close themselves off from those they lead will limit the places where others will follow.
Dishonesty – Since character counts highest, a good leader must be above reproach. When a leader fails, he or she must admit their mistake and work towards restoration.
A leader may struggle with one or more of these, but the goal should be to lead “killer-free.” Leader, be honest, which of these wrecking balls do you struggle with most?

If we stay in the church the world calls us religious,
If we go on mtv the saints think were trippin’,
If we try to hit the streets then we’re some thugs in sin,
With those spectating you cant expect to win,
Its hard to make decisions when theories clouding your vision,
Sometimes I’m confused with who is the opposition…

No matter what the circumstances, we Christians should keep our heads. God has not given us the spirit of fear, but of power, of love and of a sound mind. It is a dismal thing to see a son of heaven cringe in terror before the sons of earth.
– - A.W. Tozer
In some circles, God has been abridged, reduced, modified, edited, changed & amended until He is no longer the God whom Isaiah saw, high and lifted up.
– A.W. Tozer
In the bonds of Death He lay Who for our offence was slain; But the Lord is risen to-day, Christ hath brought us life again, Wherefore let us all rejoice, Singing loud, with cheerful voice, Hallelujah!
– Martin Luther
