“LEADING FROM THE BACK”

Is a leader the person who always takes credit for what he or she has accomplished? Always needing to be noticed? Remember, one of the leadership styles/characteristics is “Quiet leader”- the person who pushes others to do their best and needs no credit/validation. “The leader is, most often, the person in the background.”

  SOME DEFINITIONS OF A GOOD LEADER: 

-Empowers others

-Most often has a mentor, and is happy to be a mentor for someone else

-Tolerates debate; he/she is open to hear a variety of viewpoints (not the “my way or no way” attitude)

-Doesn’t take criticism personally

-Isn’t worried about being popular or unpopular

-Admits mistakes and learns from them

-You are confident in being the LEADER that God designed YOU to be!
