True Leaders

How do we define leadership?  There are many answers to that age old question: some say that leaders are those that tend to "Lead" the group in most activities, whether in authority or not.  Some have great influence; and some have great skill.  But I believe that true leaders are not simply any of those qualities, but a leader is a one who more sets a good example by showing the true good qualities of leadership.

    "Leaders are movers and shakers, original, inventive, unpredictable, imaginative, full of surprises that discomfort the enemy in war and the main office in peace. 

    "For managers are safe, conservative, predictable, conforming organization men and team players, dedicated to the establishment." (Leaders and Managers; HughNibley.  August 19th, 1983, BYU)

    That's what leaders are!  People who will do what's right and what needs to be done.  Jesus Christ set the example for us on how to be:

John 14

6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the away, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

 " 'If you love me,' said the Greatest of all leaders, 'you will keep my commandments,'  'If you know what is good for me,' says the manager, 'you will keep my commandments and not make waves.' " (Ibid, HughNibley)
