Innovation distinguishes between a leader and a follower.
A great leader never sets himself above his followers except in carrying responsibilities.
Outstanding leaders appeal to the hearts of their followers - not their minds.
Leaders don't create followers, they create more leaders.
Jesus said several times, “Come, follow me.†His was a program of “do what I do,†rather than “do what I say.†His innate brilliance would have permitted him to put on a dazzling display, but that would have left his followers far behind. He walked and worked with those he was to serve. His was not a long-distance leadership. He was not afraid of close friendships; he was not afraid that proximity to him would disappoint his followers. The leaven of true leadership cannot lift others unless we are with and serve those to be led.
Be a true Heart, not a follower.
I start with the premise that the function of leadership is to produce more leaders, not more followers.
