So, I was looking at the lives of Jesus and Job. I gleaned some leadership lessons:
° You need people
Even the one Son of God needed men; how much more you.
° You cannot do everything yourself.
Leadership is the art of getting others to do what needs to be done.
° You should strive to fulfill your purpose
This should be your overwhelming passion.
° You will have praisers and questioners -- it is normal. Make it your duty not to fall for the first and not to expend all your energy on the second.
° You need faith
You cannot go far as a leader without believing that what lies ahead is better than the now, and is worth going through the process to reach it.
° You must possess a positive mentality
Unpleasantness is a fact of life. However, you should ALWAYS and ONLY expect the best outcomes. Even if, things look bleak.
° When things are not going well, take it to God
Taking it to people will not help a lot. And you know you cannot dump on the people you lead...
° When you have doubts, remember that it is only natural

Practically everyone has crisis moments when questions outnumber answers. The important thing is not to remain in the place of questioning (or doubting). Take forward steps even when you'd rather wallow...
Welcome to your future!
