Leadership for the Christian is truly an inside-out dynamic, where we pass on to others what we have first received ourselves. So the absolute priority of leading ourselves well determines everything we have to offer to those who matter most, starting at home and then at work. This Forbes post was excellent and very practical:
“If you want genuine peace of mind when you go to sleep at night, you first need to figure out what gets you out of bed in the morning. If you want to open doors for others, it’s good to show that you can open some for yourself. If you desire to rest on your success tomorrow, you dog on well shouldn’t be sitting still today.
The most important leadership test in the world is based on your ability to successfully lead yourself first. Can you pass it?”
