Leadership by Example

 

Leadership is accomplished by being an example: Scriptures show us that righteous leadership is not achieved by being above anyone but rather by one's willingness to live out an example of how others are to follow. Godly leadership should be recognized as, "being one" with those that are following their example in Christ.
