List for Leaders

We often turn to Exodus 18 - Moses and his conversation with his father-in-law Jethro (one of the coolest Biblical names) for leadership lessons.  In my devotions, I came across this passage again and this is what stood out to me:

  • The goal is not to burn out, but to lead. 
  • The most important thing a leader can do is be before God-- take care of their core.
  • Teach the rules, the boundaries.  The main job of the top leader.
  • Get help!  Recognize talent, share responsibility!
  • It's okay to make the work easier!
