QUEST- DRIVE- PURPOSE should describe a Leader


Who do you want on your team? Lethargic people who don't care about anything and seem to move without purpose in life?

Nancy Ortberg in a book on leadership writes: "I want people on my leadership team who are on a quest, people who are naturally curious and are drawn to journey of transformation. People who aren't satisfied with the status quo or life as usual. People who are on a quest are courageous. It is much easier to live "quest less," taking the path of least resistance, but people who are on a quest are willing to live with discomfort and ambiguity...People who are on a quest are transformed."

King David was this kind of a leader.

Right before he killed the giant Goliath he yelled out:

"This day the LORD will hand you over to me, and I'll strike you down and cut off your head. Today I will give the carcasses of the Philistine army to the birds of the air and the beasts of the earth, and the whole world will know that there is a God in Israel. 47 All those gathered here will know that it is not by sword or spear that the LORD saves; for the battle is the LORD's, and he will give all of you into our hands."
1 Samuel 17: 46-47

David's quest was to exalt God, that the whole world would know that Israel's God was the God of gods.

Always pick for your team people who have Drive, a purpose, who are on a quest and make sure they match your quest and purpose.
