I love this from my John Maxwell Leadership Bible
So he shepherded them according to the integrity of his heart, and guided them by the skillfulness of his hands. Psalm 78:72
David's leadership succeeded through a two-sided coin: his hands and his heart, or outward skill and inward integrity. Every great spiritual leader must have this combination. David's excellent leadership combined both heart and art. To have one without the other leads to failure. Consider the following list of eleven keys to excellence, aimed at helping us to develop our leadership skills today. Leaders must:
1.Value excellence5.Display integrity and sound ethics
6.Show genuine respect for others
From Rod:
And please don't forget - David shepherded them. Put on the heart of our Great Shepherd Jesus as we make disciples of all nations!
