More DescriptionAustin Christian Leadership Institute Leadership 101 is a twelve lesson discipleship development tool for developing young pastors and ministers who are seeking to grow their leadership quotient.Leadership 101 is also a "tool box" where each lesson is arranged in three to four "mini-lessons" so the student can teach them to his or her followers, disciples, students or congregation.Spiritual leadership seeks to motivate people from the inside, by an appeal to the heart, not by external pressure or coercion. Sadly, most of today's leaders have traded away the notion of leadership by character to leadership by celebrity.Effective leaders are not consumed with their own success, but with the success of others. They work hard to make everyone around them more effective by focusing their passion on helping those they lead to envision, embrace and enjoy the opportunities set before them.Bernard Montgomery said, "Leadership is the capacity and will to rally men and women to a common purpose, and the character which inspires confidence."This type of leader demonstrates to everyone around him that the interests of others are what most occupy his heart.The role of leadership in today's Church is not a mere human arrangement; for each of its leaders are under divine appointment. From Moses to the Apostle Paul the Lord first chooses, commissions and then compels His leaders.Paul wrote to Colossians, "And say to Archippus, "Take heed to the ministry which you have received in the Lord, that you may fulfill it." (Colossians 4:17)The word "fulfill" is the present active subjunctive of plêroô, which means, "that you keep on filling it full." In other words, leadership is a life-time job.For more information concerning Austin Christian Leadership Institute please contact the author of Leadership 101, Robert Stone at acli@acfellowship.org.
