Nehemiah's CHARACTER For Effective Leadership Demonstrated Proper Caution. “ So I went to Jerusalem and was there three days. Then I arose in the night, I and a few men with me. And I told no one what my God had put into my heart to do for Jerusalem. There was no animal with me but the one on which I rode. ” “ So I went to Jerusalem and was there three days. Then I arose in the night, I and a few men with me. And I told no one what my God had put into my heart to do for Jerusalem. There was no animal with me but the one on which I rode. ” Neh. 2:11-12

Nehemiah's CHARACTER For Effective Leadership Displayed Strong Courage In The Face Of Opposition. Nehemiah Was A Man Of Decisive Action was subjected to ridicule (4:3).

Nehemiah's Practical METHODS Of Leadership: Was A Good Organizer. Nehemiah Trained People To Work. Provided Security To Protect The People.

Nehemiah's Practical METHODS Of Leadership: Raised The Morale Of His Co-workers. “… Do not be afraid of them. Remember the Lord, who is great and awesome, and fight for your brothers, your sons, your daughters, your wives, and your homes. ” Neh. 4:14.

Nehemiah's Practical METHODS Of Leadership: Nehemiah Was Just "One Of The Guys" (5:15- 18).  He did not take advantage of rank or privilege.  He led by example.  He led by personality instead of position.  People resent leaders "lording it over them."

Effectual Spiritual Leadership Indeed the church is the most intensive leadership enterprise in society. It requires the best we have to offer. It calls for men of integrity. People with passion.

Effectual Spiritual Leadership Leaders who lead by Christ like character rather than clout. We need better spiritual leaders in our homes, churches, and society.
