3. Leadership is one of the most observed
and least understood phenomena
on Earth. JM Burns

5. Christian Leadership is the process by which men and
women called by God give servant direction and
humble guidance to a body of believers toward a
common goal using Biblical principles. Leadership is
the management of heavenly resources, including
people, talent, and time.
Troy A. Griffitts

6. Num 27:15-20 NLT Then Moses said to the LORD, 16 "O
LORD, You are the God who gives breath to all creatures.
Please appoint a new man as leader for the community.
17 Give them someone who will guide them wherever
they go and will lead them into battle, so the
community of the LORD will not be like sheep without a
shepherd." 18 The LORD replied, "Take Joshua son of
Nun, who has the Spirit in him, and lay your hands on
him. 19 Present him to Eleazar the priest before the
whole community, and publicly commission him to lead
the people. 20 Transfer some of your authority to him
so the whole community of Israel will obey him.

the status quo
• The illiterate of the 21st century
will not be those who cannot read
& write but those who cannot
learn, unlearn & relearn. Alvin
Toffler.
