Your Leadership Grip
(Church Smart, 1999)
Leadership is a series of functions carried out by a group of people, not just a job filled by one person. Leaders are commonly strong in two or three of these five areas: values keepers, team builders, listeners, vision sharers and equippers. The dynamic part of your leadership style grows from your spiritual gifting.
