Simon says “Follow the leader.” Discipleship involves following a “qualified” or recognized leader. This is to say that effective activities need good organization of collective interests. I wrote an article that profiles the characteristics of a leader in the context of Christian ministry and mission–“Profile of a Leader.” You may request it for further reading and see if you mirror or lack some of its stated and essential characteristics. This message is to jog you to self-evaluation and help you determine areas you need to improve, modify, or eliminate to be effective in planning and implementing collective-embraced visions, missions, and objectives for implementing Jesus’ Great Commission.

What are your ideas for effective and productive leadership and mission impact? Where have you observed productivity in these areas of social life?
