Why it is so hard to be a leader
 

Thought this would be a thread that leaders could express their feelings and maybe what has helped us carry on from day to day...
Thoughts????

Well, my husband and I stepped down from our church leadershop positions, but I think what is hard is taking false accusations and just bearing it while still trying to minister to some of the people who are doing it.

Timmy, Paul wrote about you! You must carry his message...

Re: Why it is so hard to be a leader
 

because you don't have anyone to follow!

Because the leader always gets smacked in the face with the spider webs first while everyone else watches and laughs as they do the heebie jeebies dance.

Because while no one else is willing to lead, they all want to tell the leader how to lead.

Because its not just you who might fall into the trap, its also everyone who is following.

Because there is always someone breathing down your neck.

The leader doesnt always know just how deep that hole is, or cold that water is, or hard the climb may be, all the followers have to do is watch and listen.

"There they go, I must hasten after them, for I am their leader!":whistle


Sounds humourus but it is true.
A leader is usually not born (few are) most are made, & it makes a difference who you were able to be trained by.

God will hold us leaders with a greater degree of accountability than others.

It can be tremendously rewarding!
