Refining Leadership

Today leadership is more crucial than ever before.  You can see it all around you, solid leadership breeds consistent, functional, productive ministries, teams and businesses!  When you see something that has or is successful in their field, more often than not the people that are in leadership positions within that organization are constantly looking for ways that they can better lead.  They are continuing to refine their skills, knowledge and practices.  The refining process happens to increase value & quality. 

Gold is one of those precious metals that has benefited from this economic downturn in the last couple years.   Gold has increased in value and people have started cashing in on this.  Cash 4 Gold stores, Joe's Gold... you name it stores are popping up buying gold from people who are strapped for cash and then turning around and selling it for more than they paid.  The more refined the gold, the more pure the gold is the more its worth.  Gold is refined in intense heat, the dross(impurities) is taken out and the gold is made more valuable because it is a higher quality.

In order to grow as a leader the refining process needs to take place!   Everyone has a limitless ceiling when it comes to leadership.   Continuing to grow as a leader is important, here are some things that can help refine you as a leader:

1. Learning from those who have gone before you
2. There are great books out there (Leaders are Readers)
3. Blogs
4. Conferences
5. Ask those you lead how you can improve

**Be in Gods word daily, Be in constant communication with Him (prayer), ask for Him to be the leader in your life.

Dont Stop, Keep Leading!!
