Divine-Centered Leadership

Divine-Centered Leadership was probably the best 44 page text I've ever read. I am so pumped to have this knew knowledge and perspective on leadership! And I really think that this lesson will help me to become a better leader as well as disciple-scholar. I hope to embody the characteristics of a divine-centered leader this semester and for the rest of my life. I'm really glad that a hard copy was available for me to hold on to too so I can read it again later or share it with people. I think my dad, who I interviewed for my paper, would really love to read it. He and my mother are definitely two candidates for great divine-centered leaders that I know. My father has always done his best to model the way, the truth, and the life. While my mother has always been incredible at knowing each of her kids' hearts. And both did an awesome job of sharing the inspired vision of the gospel and its restoration, and they have done so much for my siblings and I that they have surely served us so that we may act. They also served us by teaching us which better enabled us to act and in doing so they also challenged unrighteousness by instilling righteous values in us. And most important to me was their motive, they did all these things for me, my brother, and my sister, so that we may grow and come to be more like our Savior so that we may return to be with Him. They're motive was love, at its purest degree. I think this is why the thing that stuck out the most to me in the reading is the motive that a leader bases their leadership on. I thought the concept of "What Would The Lord Have Me Do?" was so cool and that is something that I look forward to applying to my leadership role and life. Another part of divine-centered leadership that I really want to improve on and apply in my leadership role is Knowing Each Heart the best I can by really getting to know all the guys on my floor. And then I hope I can challenge unrighteousness by encouraging them to adhere to the Honor Code and do things that invite the Spirit in preparation for their missions. I plan to model this for them the best that I can so that I live what I encourage them to do. Lastly, I plan to make it known unto each of them that I am always available to help and serve them. I really look forward to becoming the best divine-centered leader I can and coming closer to God in the process.
