Hey Friends,

As you know, spiritual leadership is what I am most passionate about. At the core of leadership it is all about others. Peter Drucker said, “Leadership is the lifting of a man’s vision to higher sights, the raising of a man’s performance to a higher standard, the building of a man’s personality beyond its normal limits.” I love this because it cuts to the bottom line of what we need to do for others.

Far too many people want to be leaders because of what they see as perks. There are some perks for being a leader, but the responsibility far outweighs the perks. You and I are supposed to be here to help make others better. Are you? Do you?

Leaders don’t evaluate their performance based what they do, but by how it affects others, the team and the organization. Let’s look at a few questions to help evaluate our leadership:

1. Are the people on your team succeeding? Since leadership is about others, how are they doing?

2. Are the people on your team being developed? At FPC we spend a lot of money of staff development. The better the leadership team the better the church. This is a critical focus for the senior team and whole staff. We want to develop people at every level.

3. Are the people on your team being transformed? Personal growth is a passion. I am nearly finished with my second book and it is all about developing a personal growth plan for your life.

4. Do the people on your team trust you? You can’t lead them if they don’t trust you. In spiritual leadership, here is where the enemy engages us to the extreme! Be ready. People won’t follow you if they don’t trust you.

It is easy to evaluate our leadership on how we are doing! The only problem is that it tells us nothing about our leadership. It is all about others.

How do you see it?

Love ya,

Pastor Chris
