Just to share the wealth

Don Allen's Five Principles for Spiritual Leaders

1. A close connection with our leader...

Maintain your intimacy with Christ, seek after him daily.

2. Live a life worth following

Paul said, "follow me as I follow Christ."

3. Serve (by deeds and prayer)

Both are vital.

4. Motivate others to develop their gifts and abilities to fullest potential.

A good leader motivates others to develop without fear or envy.

5. Articulate a clear and compelling vision.

The vision must be clear, like Jesus's, but open-ended, to accomadate the gifts of all those underneath you.
