Apostolic Leadership Qualities

Most leadership experts I know define leadership as influence. That is one aspect of it, but I don’t think it’s the whole story. Based on a careful look at Acts 13:1-3 we find apostolic leaders have seven qualities:

Leaders have Holy Spirit insight. They listen to God.

Leaders demonstrate initiative. They take action.

Leaders exert influence. They have spiritual ambition.

Leaders have impact. They expect results.

Leaders exercise integrity. They have godly character.

Leaders take arrows. They can handle criticism.

Leaders make decisions. They are decisive.
