10. How do you define leadership? Skip Bell, DMin

11. Having spent much of the last decade researching organizational behavior and ministry impact, I am convinced that there are just a handful of keys to successful ministry. One of the indispensable characteristics of a ministry that transforms lives is leadership.George Barna Skip Bell, DMin

12. It is not leadership from any one person that is required, it is an aspect of leadership each of us summons from within. In this respect, the same qualities we have sought in one person can be found distributed among many people who learn, in community, to exercise their "leadership" at appropriate moments. This occurs when people are vitally concerned about issues or when executing their responsibilities. Leadership thus becomes a rather fluid concept focusing on those behaviors which propel the work of the group forward.J. Nirenberg Skip Bell, DMin

13. What Leadership Is Not Skip Bell, DMin

14. “Control is not leadership, management is not leadership; leadership is leadership. If you seek to lead, invest at least 50% of your time leading yourself – your own purpose, ethics, principles, motivation, conduct. Invest at least 20% leading those with authority over you and 15% leading your peers. If you don’t understand that you work for your mislabeled ‘subordinates’, then you know nothing of leadership. You know only tyranny.” Dee Hock, 1997, founder of VISA Fast Company, No. 7, p.98 Skip Bell, DMin

15. Leadership as Relationship Skip Bell, DMin

16. Contrary to popular thinking, the term "leadership" is a relatively new word. Skip Bell, DMin

27. Servant Leadership Skip Bell, DMin

28. Jesus on Servant Leadership • Matthew 20:20-28 • Mark 10:35-45 • Mark 9:35 • Luke 22:24-27 • John 13:1-17 • 1 Peter 5:1-3 • Romans 12:1 Skip Bell, DMin

29. “The servant-leader is servant first… It beginswith the natural feeling that one wants to serve,to serve first. Then conscious choice brings one to aspire to lead. He or she is sharply different from the person who is leader first, perhaps because of the need to assuage an unusual power drive or to acquire material possessions. For such it will be a later choice to serve – after leadership is established. The leader-first and the servant-first are two extreme types. Between them there are shadings and blends that are part of the infinite variety of human nature. Skip Bell, DMin

30. The difference manifest itself in the care taken by the servant-first to make sure that other people’s highest priority needs are being served. The best test…is: do those served grow as persons; do they, while being served, become healthier, wiser, freer, more autonomous, more likely themselves to become servants? And, what is the effect on the least privileged in society; will they benefit, or, at least, will they not be further deprived?” Skip Bell, DMin

31. What distinguishes servant leadership is the motivation behind our actions as leaders. Skip Bell, DMin

32. Servant leadership means we also set aside personal gain, make sacrifices, and put the needs of others above the direction we may prefer for ourselves. Skip Bell, DMin

33. Servant leadership is not weak, it has a greater power and influence than leadership based on force, reward, or selfishness. Skip Bell, DMin

34. Servant leadership is in a deeper sense natural. It flows out of our life-long experience of spiritual formation. Skip Bell, DMin

35. For many years I have told people that although there are a lot of books on leadership, there is only one serious students have to read – Servant Leadership by Robert K. Greenleaf…. Greenleaf invites people to consider a domain of leadership grounded in a state of being, not doing. He says that the first and most important choice a leader makes is the choice to serve, without which one’s capacity to lead is profoundly limited. That choice is not an action in the normal sense – it’s not something you do, but an expression of your being.” Peter Senge, 1996, from the introduction to Jaworski’s Synchronicity Skip Bell, DMin

47. Essential Two: Demonstrating Faith Based Hope Skip Bell, DMin

48. Prayer and faith will do what no power upon earth can accomplish. We need not be so anxious and troubled. The human agent cannot go everywhere, and do everything that needs to be done. Often imperfections manifest themselves in the work, but if we show unwavering trust in God, not depending upon the ability or talent of men, the truth will advance. Let us place all things in God’s hands, leaving Him to do the work in His own way, according to His own will, through whomsoever He may choose. Those who seem to be weak God will use, if they are humble. Human wisdom, unless daily controlled by the Holy Spirit, will prove foolishness. We must have more faith and trust in God. He will carry His work out with success. Earnest prayer and faith will do for us what our own devising cannot do….Ellen white, 8 Manuscript Releases 218 Skip Bell, DMin
