Sometimes we can view leadership as simply big-picture, long-term, and strategic, especially if we lead organizations such as a church or a non-profit.
I’ve learned, however, that how I treat one-on-one encounters with leaders can impact the leader and the organization often in greater ways than my big-picture leadership.
Here are three questions to silently ask ourselves when with another leader.
- If I were in his/her shoes, would this leader feel loved?
- What does this leader need from me now and how can I meet it?
- What is God doing in this person’s life and how does He want me to help?
Perhaps these questions are ways to live out the maxim, “people don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care.”
Do you silently ask yourself any questions that help you one-on-one lead?
