Passion & Leadership
Pastor Johnny Hunt from First Baptist Woodstock wrote a book called "Building Your Leadership Resume". In it he writes a chapter on the importance of passion in leaders. Here are two quotes:
Passionate leaders develp a 'whatever it takes' mentality. They know their life's calling. They know the purpose and direction God has given them...They're willing to face the inevitable challenges of leadership with drive, guts, and get-after-it persisitence.
Passion sees no unstopable barriers. It will plow through, jump across, or dig under any obstacles. Where some see a dead end, passion sees a possibility. Where some grow tired from the struggle, passion is energized to see it through. Where some are ready to quit, passion rocks on. Passion is only getting started when others are conceding failure.
This is the kind of passion God is looking for in his leaders. Paul wrote:
Zeal, fervor, passion - these are what God wants to see in His leaders.
