Leadership Communication
Leadership is another one of those everyday things that require communication skills. Leadership isn't just about making speeches, but about gaining acceptance of your ideas.
Leadership is all the buzz right now, but leadership is so much more than power or charisma. Leadership, Godly Leadership, true leadership, is so much more than that!
Leadership requires us to step out of our shyness.
Leadership requires us to speak in a godly way according to the Word.
Leadership requires us to communicate our vision and that we are someone worth following.
Leadership Insights:
"Leadership is the art of getting someone else to do something you want done because he wants to do it." -Dwight Eisenhower

Tips For Leaders:
* Keep a journal of notes on ideas for furture reference
* Get organized by using a planner or Outlook Calendar so you never miss an important meeting/event.

Excellent post, but the thing that comes first to my mind when I think about leadership is what Christ told the disciples. Leadership requires service.
Thanks!
