Chapter 10 – The Need for Leadership

This chapter was list within list. I got so lost, I decided to draw each list out myself.

2 Keys to developing a leader:
1.      Selection
2.     Time

5 Qualities (How to spot a leader. May not have all qualities. Can develop some.)
1.      He has fight and drive
2.     He can spot and recruit achievers*
3.     He has stability
4.     He has organizational ability**
5.     He has judgment and creativity (one will usually dominate)
a.     A judicial person will be a steady, thoughtful, methodical, productive leader.
b.     A creative person will “get it done with flair.” There will be a bit more sparkle and pizzazz in his method of operation.

8 Traits of an achiever*
1.      He is reliable
2.     He is resourceful
3.     He is adaptable
4.     He is enthusiastic
5.     He know how to work
6.     He is alert
7.     He has initiative
8.     He is confident

6 Keys to personal organization**
1.      A realistic look at one’s own capacity
2.     A settled conviction as to what God wants done
3.     The ability to do things in the order of their importance
4.     The good sense to leave some free time between projects, knowing things often take longer than planned and that there are always unforeseen interruptions
5.     The faithful keeping of time with God and the priority of the family at the top of the list.
6.     Learning how to function with a certain flexibility that is people-centered rather than project-centered. No one can be a good leader who is more concerned with projects than with people

6 Basic rules to organize a project
1.      Define your mission in exact, specific terms
2.     Break it down and divide it up into manageable and workable units
3.     Set up an organization that will help each unit to accomplish its part of the endeavor
4.     Fill the key spots with well-trained men
5.     Give them full authority to get their jobs done
6.     Check up on them to see that they stick with the main job

Until I come, devote yourself to the public reading of Scripture, to exhortation, to teaching.
1 Timothy 4:13 (ESV)
