Being a leader in the bible wasn't easy. Most of the leaders were chosen by God also as God only appointed people he saw fit for being a leader. There are many leaders in the bible but I find that in judges it really shows what being a leader is all about. Now being a leader then isn't just enough if you were appointed by god you had to be a biblical leader. This could mean a lot of different thing because no leader is the same but ultimately they had to share some of the same traits and had to appeal to the people. If I were a person then I would want not just want a person that says they are a biblical leader I would want them to show it. They would have to be faithful I wouldn't want an untrustworthy person to be my leader or someone I cant depend on. I would want to be able to trust them with anything and be able to depend on them when I need them. Then ultimately they would need wisdom I don't want a stupid leader I would want someone that can help me with my problems and society problems not just give us orders but help show us the way. …show more content…

Therefore, it is imperative that leadership is informative, transparent, open to questions and communication to ensure employees are comfortable and understand why changes need to be made within the organization. I am always an advocate for change so I do find myself reminding others to be open to change and to try and have an open mind to changes when employees within my organization begin to complain or become disgruntled when there are discussions around changes. I also try to empathize with other employees when they discuss change and understand that some of them have been working there for a very long time and am able to why they began working for the startup many years ago.
Christian leaders are called to be servants and differ from other forms of leadership.

Thank you for your interesting statement, “Leadership development and the experiences of the twelve disciples of Jesus go hand in hand.” A good question to ask, “What in heaven does the Bible have to do with leadership? Everything!” (Woolfe, 2002, Loc.114). While the Bible continues to be the greatest source of spiritual guidance and revelation, it is also the greatest source of leadership ever written.
Ed Stetzer and Mike Dodson, declare that a biblical leader is a person engaged in influencing and developing people in accomplishing a purpose by means of supernatural power.106 J. Oswald Sanders points out that spiritual leaders influence others because they are illuminated, likewise they are saturated with the power of the Holy Spirit. For instance, when the leader comes under the control of the Holy Spirit, the spirit’s power flows through him to others.107 Sanders further verifies that spiritual leaders can only lead others down the road in which they have already travelled. It’s not enough to point out the way, a godly leader must walk in a way that others can follow.108 Geoffrey V. Guns articulates brilliantly how Jesus modeled leadership
A leader exemplifies fairness, compassion for others, and charisma. According to Judges 2:16, they were “raised by God to deliver His people. ”Reference: Tullock, J.H. & McEntire, M. (2012). “The Old Testament Story.” Ninth Ed.
In Spiritual Leadership, Henry Blackaby and Richard Blackaby remind readers that the Bible reveals God’s pattern of working through successive generations. God gave his people specific instructions concerning how they were to train and prepare the emerging generation of leaders (Deut. 6:6-9; 20-25). In both Old and New Testament scripture, the message about succession is consistent: effective leaders plan ahead for the time when they can no longer lead, and they prayerfully prepare for that day. Consideration of biblical trends in succession planning may provide ancient insight into contemporary conditions.
Leaders are appointed to serve here on earth on behalf of Christ since Christ is the good and chief shepherd. Leaders should lead the believers based on how Christ related with the church when he was on earth[5]. Shepherds had to feed the people of God and to protect them from predators[6]. Churches today ought to do things how the New Testament churches did[7].
1. Jesus is an excellent role model of humility and servant leadership. Tell me about a time when you had to humble yourself, so that your servant leadership could be viewed as a valuable lesson for others? 2. What part of ministry do you find the most challenging?
In the event that you have a mole, you might think about whether it’s safe or you should see your specialist about it. A mole generally shows up as a little, brown spot on your skin, yet can come in many shapes, sizes, and colors. Moles are absolute indications of our hereditary qualities and even the care that we provide for our skin. Many of our moles show up within early youth while some are with us from our childhood. But why do we have moles on our skin?
Atkinson (2014) believes effective leadership displays, “No person is less divine than another, and therefore no person is less than another” (p. 145). Throughout the bible, there are many people in scripture that God placed in leadership roles. Jesus, David, Moses, Paul, Peter, Abraham and many others are some of those leaders. There are core attributes discussed in the lecture that personally reflect my opinion of what an effective leader of Christ needs such as, a shared vision, model of the way, empowerment of others, challenge of the process, and encouragement of the heart.

Leaders establish a model of the way others should be treated and how goals should be pursued, with standards and examples of what others should follow by exemplifying God’s example. Christian leaders inspire a shared vision to make a difference
The Great Tōhoku earthquake is one of the deadliest events of the century. The only other recorded earthquake that has been stronger was the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake. This earthquake registered between 8.9-9.0 in magnitude on the Richter scale. It triggered a gigantic tsunami that took a great number of lives. Then the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant’s cooling systems failed, causing some reactors to explode. In the end, this event was the strongest earthquake to ever hit Japan. This paper discusses the lives lost, involvement of plate tectonics, the nuclear emergency, the horrible tsunami, and the devastating earthquake.
