The Leadership 1-2

The first principle of Godly leadership rests on the ability to hear God. Without this conversation, it is impossible to govern wisely. Solomon is proof that God desires and has made provision for effective, intelligent, motivated leadership.  Obedience is the second principle of Godly leadership. We undertook this walk in 2009 with our leadership reading of “Honor’s Reward” by John Bevere. Pastor recently mentioned that obedience is in “the little things” that we are asked to do by those in authority. Have you ever asked yourself why you don’t do what you’re asked to do?

The New Leadership Paradigm
by Robert Dilts

In the emerging views of leadership, however, leaders do not have influence simply because they are ‘bosses’ or ‘commanders’. Rather, leaders are people who are committed to “creating a world to which people want to belong.” This commitment demands a special set of models and abilities in order to effectively and ecologically manifest the visions which guide those committed to change. It involves communicating, interacting and managing relationships within an organization, network or social system to move toward one’s highest aspirations.

Gregory Bateson (1972) identified several fundamental levels of learning and change. Each level is more abstract than the level below it, but each has a greater degree of impact on the individual or system. These levels roughly correspond to:

‘Spiritual’                                                    Vision & Purpose

1. Who I Am – Identity: . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .  . . Role & Mission
2. My Belief System – Values, Meta Programs: . . Motivation & Permission
3. My Capabilities – States, Strategies: . . . . . . . . Perception & Direction
4. What I Do – Specific Behaviors: . . . . . . . . . . . Actions & Reactions
5. My Environment – External Context: . . . . . . . . Constraints & Opportunities
