SLIDE 1 The Well-Formed Christian Leader from Nancy’s Perspective
Foundations For Leadership Fall 2008
SLIDE 2 Me, Myself, and Jesus
- “Leadership is not so much about technique and methods as it is about
- pening the heart. Leadership is about inspiration—of oneself and of
- thers. Great leadership is about human experiences, not processes.
Leadership is not a formula or a program, it is a human activity that comes from the heart and considers the hearts of others. It is an attitude, not a routine.”
- Lance Secretan, Industry Week, 10/12/9
- “It takes less time to do a thing right than to explain why you did it
wrong.” — Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
- "You cannot be a leader, and ask other people to follow you, unless you
know how to follow, too.” — Sam Rayburn
