*Thot of the day:*

*If God has called us to leadership, we’ll be unfulfilled in any other role.

* The call to leadership requires:

1) *Competence.*
We must recognise our gifts, and then channel our energies into where we’re most likely to succeed. *That means acknowledging our limitations and helping equip others to fill them.* To do that, we must be secure.

2) *Courage.*
Scott Peck said, *’The best decision makers are those willing to suffer the most over their decisions but still retain their ability to be decisive.'* Good leaders are not necessarily the cleverest or most creative people, *they're just the ones with the courage to step out and go first.

3) *Clarity.*
Let’s be clear about our goals, even though we’re not certain as to the details.

4) *Coaching.*
Without good coaches we’ll never be as good as we could be. If we’re hoping to learn everything from personal experience, all the best; we’ll have to outlive Methuselah!

5) *Character.*
Character provides the moral authority to bring together the people and resources needed to get the job done. *Our talent has the potential to take us places where our character can't sustain us. That thought should keep us on our knees.*

Cheers.
