Ten Platforms in 2022 that Christian leaders need to build on.

 Ten things in 2022 that leaders need to be great at.

Over the years the secular media has taken a dig at church leaders. They want to drag them down to their level and try to expose them as frauds. What needs to be remembered is that like everybody else we are human we make mistakes. However we are called to a higher standard and we need to live up to that standard. Here are 10 things that I believe leaders need to be clear about and consistent with in the year ahead.

 1) Vision, without it how can a leader hope to take anyone anywhere.

2) Integrity:  Without it how is any leader going to be trusted.

3) Respect: Unless a leader earns the respect of those they lead any success will be short lived.

4) Authenticity: A con artist in leadership can be spotted at ten paces; unfortunately many people are blind to the Con.

5) Encouragement: great leaders are constantly encouraging those who work with and for them to complete the vision.

6) Listening: Good leaders are always good listeners, that's how they keep their fingers on the pulse of what is going on.

7) Vulnerability: This lets those that leaders lead see the human side of the person that leads them.

8) Service: Great leaders serve, they want to serve and they do serve. But they are not someone else’s slaves.

9) Courage: Without this a leader cannot hope to achieve what they wish to achieve, "only brave people and fools scale great heights" 

10)  Prayer: Great leaders are always answerable to a higher power and those who do not acknowledge that power, remain in obscurity.
