QUALITIES OF LEADERSHIP

 by Dr. Hank Lindstrom

     L     Loyalty and Love
To the whole church program.  One forfeits his right to leadership when he fails to set the example in "complete" loyalty to the policies of the church.

         Enterprise and Effort
A real leader is industrious and sees a way through or around difficulties.  He does not mind working hard and sacrificing in order to carry out his job.

     A     Attention and Attitude
He gives real attention to the details of his task, remembering, "cursed is he that doeth the work of the Lord negligently."  He has a willing attitude.

     D     Dependability and Determination
Always ready, always on time, and always present in every service, unless providentially hindered.

     E     Eagerness and Earnestness
Enthusiastic about serving the Lord in the place to which he is elected.  Sincere as to seriousness of his purpose.

     R     Radiant and Resolved
Happy in his work.  Optimistic, never critical, and encouraging to others.  Self-possessed to see the job through.

     S     Surrendered and Serious
Christ first, others second, self last.

     H     Honest and Humble
Doing things openly in the sight of God and men, and esteeming others above himself.

     I     Industrious and Indispensable
Works hard week by week, thereby becoming invaluable.

     P     Prayerful and Progressive
Service as if everything depended upon him, and prayer as if everything depended upon God.
