Focusing Leaders


Principiul Caracterului

Lucrarea eficientă vine din ceea ce eşti

Lucrarea eficientă vine din rămânerea în Cristos

Dezvoltarea conducerii

1. Dumnezeu dezvoltă un lider toată viaţa

2. Dumnezeu foloseşte oameni, circumstanţe şi sarcini de lucrare pentru a modela

viaţa liderului

3. Plafonarea în dezvoltare este simptomul pentru alte probleme.

Puţini lideri sfârşesc bine

A personal time-linereflects an individual's uniqueprocessing and development

as a leader

Value of thepersonal time-line:

1. Encouragement

2. Clarity

3. Guidance

Network Module Four

Module Four / OH #1

Focusing Leaders


Effective leaders have a perspective which enables them to focus

their life and ministry

The time-line helps to reveal life-ministry values

Values are unwritten assumptions, preferences and beliefs about life and ministry

which inherently guide a leader

Values are core convictions that God has taught a leader

Values are an integral part of a personal mission statement

Network Module Four

Module Four / OH #2

Focusing Leaders


Examples of Life-Ministry ValuesPeople first — My wife and my family are my significant ministry

— My capacity to influence requires relationally-based ministry

Being before doing — It is easier to do, but it is more important to be— God cares about the process and the journey

Team — Doing ministry alone proves nothing

Mentoring — I value learning and a teachable spirit— I value the mentoring of existing and emerging leaders

The kingdom — More and better disciples, not just church growth

The primacy of the local church — It is God's chosen vehicle for today

Leadership — Everything rises and falls on leadership

Change — A changeless gospel confronts a changing world

Faith — Mission and leadership require strength and courage

Relevancy — Effective ministry is contextual to its day and its location

A destiny revelation process item is . . .

a group of incidents or process items that are accompanied by an unusual sense

of God's presence or direction

Three stages of destiny revelation:

A leader's initial and growing awareness that God desires to use him

Continued revelation and confirmation give a leader a clear conviction

of his unique contribution (personal mission)

A leader acknowledges God's leading as he lives out his personal mission

in the day-to-day schedule
