How many times in the past 6 months have you heard this question, “Where are the leaders”?
This issue goes way beyond the marketplace. The lack of leaders and leadership seem to be an issue in every area of life:
- Families
- Churches
- Religions
- Communities
- Politics
In each of these areas there always seems to be a primary leader, it’s the second layer of leadership that seems to be missing – the support staff, the layperson, the members, the voters. Those who are required to be vocal, support, implement, and fight for the rights, principals, or purpose that their community or organization was intended to be.
It seems like Jesus saw similar issues:
Jesus entered the Temple and began to drive out all the people buying and selling animals for sacrifice. He knocked over the tables of the money changers and the chairs of those selling doves. Mathew 21:12
Is there a lack of leadership or support in your church, community or organization?
What can we – as Purpose Driven Leaders – do to change it?
Is there something you are convicted to lead, act on or say?
Are there people around you who just need a nudge for the courage to act on their convictions?
