A great leader helps a group of people identify
what they want and how to get it, and then
influences that group, free of coercion, to take
coordinated action to achieve the desired
outcomes. A great leader achieves results at
a level far beyond what others achieve.

- Geoff Smart
 COMMUNITY

As a group of people who, regardless of the

diversity of their backgrounds, have been able
to accept and transcend their differences,
enabling them to communicate effectively and
openly and to work together towards goals
identified as being for their common good.

- Jerry L. Hampton ,2004

COMMUNITY
Is a group of people who
form relationships over time
by interacting regularly
around shared experiences,
which are of interest to all of
them for varying individual
reasons.
- Mackcollier, 2006
 COMMUNITY LEADERSHIP
As a person or group of people who recognize specific
issues or needs within a community and not only resolve to
find solutions, but also seek to understand all aspects of
the situation which create the issues and needs and their
impact or possible solutions. Community leaders need to
be innovative problem solvers, least they offer only
temporary solutions that do not deal with the deeper
issues within a community. Providing resources while
helping does not cure the illness so to speak . Effective
community leaders must be willing to determine the root
causes of problems to overcome them and create thriving
communities.
-university community partnership, 2012

 Failures further develop their
character

Success is going from failure to

failure without loss of enthusiasm.
- Winston Church
 George Washington
Winston Churchill
Harry Truman
Billy Graham
 This can develop (or crush) the character of an
aspiring leader.

Examples:
Theodore Roosevelt
Franklin Roosevelt
Mohandas Ghandi
Martin Luther King, Jr.
 Leaders rose to greatness because
they did not avoid facing hardship.
Had they avoided them, greatness
would also have eluded them.
Examples:
Paul
King David
Moses
 Difficulty in speaking
Suffers from severe romantic heartache.
Examples:
Winston Churchill
Theodore Roosevelt
Mohandas Ghandi
D. L. Moody
 God can use adversity to build certain
qualities deep within ones character
that could not be fully developed in
any other way.

Leaders are not people who escape

failures but are people who overcome
them, knowing that failures are just
stepping stones to success.
1 . The dark side of leadership can never be
eliminated but can be overcome. The
leader can exercise a degree of self-
management.

2. No simple formula can overcome a lifetime

of experiences that have combined to form
our dark side. However, as we apply Gods
truth to it, we can minimize its negative
effects on our lives, family, and ministry.
3. Overcoming our dark side will take
discipline, continued vigilance, and effort
throughout our lifetime.

4. The first step toward overcoming our dark

side is to admit that it exists and understand
the shape it has taken in our life.
Leaders usually deny the dark side and then blame
their failures on others or circumstances rather than
take personal responsibility.
 To receive Gods power over our dark side,
we must acknowledge its existence in our
lives and recognize Gods empowering
work through it (2 Cor. 12:9-10).
5. The second step toward overcoming
our dark side is to examine our past. It
is crucial that we avail ourselves of the
work of the Holy Spirit to lead us into
all truth.

We should begin by recalling the events

that have shaped our lives and left an
indelible mark. As we remember, we
must identify the feelings generated
within our self that are still motivating us
a leader today.
Gaining freedom from our dark side
involves extending forgiveness in some
form. Our exercise of forgiveness
certainly will involve others, but it
includes forgiving ourselves.
6. The third step toward overcoming our
dark side is to resist the poison of
unrealistic expectations.

Expectations are a two-edged sword either

propelling us to achieve or weighing us down in
failure. The unrealistic ones produce friction
and pressure in our life that eventually led to a
burn out.
Applying the oil of Gods grace to our lives
and leadership is the only sure way to
liberate ourselves from the poison of
unrealistic expectations.
7. The fourth step toward overcoming our
dark side is to practice the discipline of
self-knowledge.

Overcoming the dark side of leadership

requires regular exposure to the mirror of
Scripture, as it will provide us with the most
accurate self-knowledge available (Jas.
1:22-25).
 The practice of spiritual disciplines will
likely include our regular reading of and
meditation of the Scripture, periods of
meditation and reflection, devotional
reading and prayer, and extended
spiritual retreats.
8. The fifth step toward overcoming our
dark side is to understand our identity
in Christ.
Our true value does not reside in our
performance, position, title, achievements
or power (our condition on earth). It exists
independently of anything we have done or
will do.
Our greatest source of worth is being
known by God and declared righteous in
Christ (our position in heaven).
 Dealing openly, directly, and biblically with
our dark side is crucial to the future of the
health of our church and our ministry
effectiveness in the world.

Our mission will be in jeopardy if we cannot

stem the tide of fallen leaders.
 The process of decision-making and the
process by which decisions are
implemented (or not implemented).

The term governance is used in

several contexts such as corporate
governance, international governance,
national governance and local
governance.

 VISION

Vision without action is a dream.

Action without vision is simply passing
the time. Action with vision is making a
positive difference.
-Joel Barker
Vision is the art of seeing what is
invisible to others.
- Jonathan Swift

Give us clear vision that we may know

where to stand for because unless we
stand for something we shall fall for
anything.
- Peter Marshall
Hell begins on the day when God
grants us a clear vision of all that we
might have achieved, of all the gifts
which we wasted, of all that we might
have done which we did not do.

- Gian Carlo Menotti

The most pathetic person in the world is
someone who has sight, but has no vision.
- Helen Keller

Where there is no vision the

people perish.
- Proverbs 29:18 (KJV)

MAN IS MULTIDIMENSIONAL

The multidimensional truth about the human

being is recognized by our 1987 Philippine
Constitution:

The State recognizes the vital role of the youth in

nation building and shall promote and protect their
physical, moral, spiritual, intellectual, and social
well-being x x x.
- Sec. 13, Article II,
Declaration Of
Principles And
State Policies
THE MULTIDIMENSIONAL ASPECTS
ARE AS FOLLOWS:
Physical Has material needs.

Intellectual Has the capacity to think.

Moral Has free will, giving him the capacity

to choose.

Social Has capacity to relate with others.

Spiritual Has the capacity to understand and

respond to supernatural matters.
 Good governance should cover and meet
all these needs of a human being for him to
become more fully human.

Good governance is liberating man from the

quagmire of dehumanizing conditions that
prevent him from becoming the kind of man
God wants him to be.
 The quality of life is a function of how
much and to what extent these human
needs are met.

Thus, the goal of economic development

is man. Economic development is human
development.
 Pope Benedict XVI (Caritas in Veritate)
said:

There cannot be holistic development

and universal common good unless
peoples spiritual and moral welfare are
taken into account, considered in their
totality as body and soul.
 Important components of public governance
are:

Responsive and responsible leadership

Responsive and responsible citizenship
