Bill Hybels on The Stakes of Leadership

Bill Hybels is senior pastor of Willow Creek Community Church in South Barrington, Illinois.  He's also somewhat of a leadership expert:

Please understand, it's not that I believe gifts of leadership is more important than other gifts.  It's simply that people with the gift of leadership are uniquely equipped to come up with strategies and structures that provide opportunities for other people to use their gifts most effectively.  Leaders see the big picture and understand how to help others find their place of service within that picture. (Courageous Leadership)

The 21st century is in desperate need of godly leaders.

Vision: Your Most Potent Weapon

In his celebrated Courageous Leadership, Bill Hybels describes vision as "the leader's most potent weapon."  He is absolutely right. 

Vision is what separates a good manager from becoming a leader.  Without vision you're like a good manager that is simply maintaining the status quo.  But when a good manager becomes a visionary, he's no longer a good manager---he's a leader.

Simply put, vision is a mental picture of a desired end.  It is what could be and should be. It immediately makes a comparision with the future.  It demands action.

If you have a vision that does not compel your passion, resources, talents, skills, giftedness, then your vision needs a revision.

Do you have a compelling vision for your life, your family and your ministry?
