Being a Leader is…. A process, not just a mechanical skill. 10
11
Being a Leader is…. A spiritual process and discipline involving inner CHARACTER: Commitment to fulfilling one’s calling, vocation Relationships of ultimate concern for and to others Being a personal example. 11

Character is therefore spiritually (morally & ethically grounded: - inner transformation of a person’s being, and - demonstrated behaviorally, affecting all of one’s life and relationships and activities (work, home, recreation, etc.) 12
13
Leader is…. A person not a position. A relationship not a rank. NOT titles: president, chair person, professor, director, boss, general, “rabbi,” “teacher,” bishop, Dr., Rev., etc. 13
14
Being a Leader is…. A personal function (activity) not a power operation. Activity/Function is action based first on relationships, not just from a position of power and/or control!! 14
15
Being a Leader is…. A God-given responsibility not a personal privilege. A God-given privilege not a divine right to govern, control! 15

Leader…. Empowers others, not only maintains one's own power and authority. (A leader’s power and authority exist to give to others. Much like having more than one child, the love increases as you give love.) Equips people not controls them. Helps other to be transformed thru relationships within a given framework (often job, tasks, committee work, etc.) 16

22
Leader…. Builds people not manipulates them merely to obtain quantifiable goals, "bottom line" objectives. Goal is maturing people, not just programs or buildings or recognition. For a leader, people are more important than just accomplishing the jobs. 22

Leaders consistently and constantly advocate self-accountability, self-initiative, self-control, individual responsibility “ [At GE I created…] “a culture where everyone began playing a part, where everyone’s ideas began to count, and where leaders led rather than controlled. They coached – rather than preached– and they got better results.” “We build great people, who then build great products and services.” 36
