Leadership Tips from Nelson

• The ability to anticipate is what separates average leaders from excellent leaders.

• Keep an eye toward what’s coming down the pike. As a leader, you should always be thinking five steps ahead of everyone else.

• 4 Things a Leader Does: Learns, Engages, Anticipates, Decides.

• When you took on the role of pastor, you immediately became a leader – whether you were prepared to be one or not. Time to step up and lead.

• Shepherding involves three critical tasks: Leading your sheep, feeding your sheep, and protecting your sheep.

• You have been entrusted with an assignment to lead your flock with an excellence that reflects the love and glory of God.

Where there is no guidance the people fall, But in abundance of counselors there is victory. – Luke 22:26

God’s best to you,

Nelson
