Category: 2015 – Maxwell’s 21 Qualities

When I started this blog, I intentionally branded my business “Out of This World Leadership.” My blog tagline “Serving Leaders who Shoot for the Stars” describes my leadership philosophy and style of servant leadership. I want to help others on their journey as they “shoot for the stars”.

So, I find it affirming that the 19^th of John Maxwell’s 21 Indispensable Qualities of a Leader focuses on Servanthood–the true measure of greatness. Last year, we focused on the NIV Leadership Bible’s perspective with the post on “Jesus Christ: The Ultimate Servant Leader.”

Jesus went to great lengths to earn the title “Servant.” How about you? What can you learn from Jesus’ example and the contrast he provides to the typical worldview on leadership?

Out of This World Leaders exhibit the Fruit of the Spirit that is described in Galatians 5:22-23. The last fruit listed is “self-control.” That was one of the Leadership Qualities emphasized by the NIV Leadership Bible from last year’s study.

Self-Discipline is also one of the 21 Indispensable Qualities of a Leader from John Maxwell’s Leadership Bible.

As Maxwell puts it, we must determine to lead our own lives well, before expecting anyone else to follow.

The journey of growth and success is first an internal one–the first person you lead is you; and you can’t lead effectively without self-discipline.
