Of course there is room to improve in:

Traits we are "decent" about
Communication
Transparent
clear
confidentiality
Good at our work areas in the work place. Consistent training at work place and accontability makes this "easier" at the work place
At the religious front it becomes a little complicated. "We have to be guarded" in church settings.

Improve:
relationships get complicated at a religious level
logistical execution and goal oriented

Did not get a chance to discuss

- good to know what we are doing before we lead
- leaders must work on themselves in all aspects before we lead

Leaders are made through experience.
Regardless if you are 8 or 80, God can use you to leader others.
Have to be a model to those you are leading. Your team can see if you are not genuine.

Leaders are called because you need calling from god to e the leader. Cannot be leader by birth alone need to be called and made.

Leaders are born, called and made. Its a progression. Each part has its importance. You are born, then Gods calling is on your life and then God molds you into a leader.
Character is #1 with God.

Leaders are called. It's a process. Whatever point in your life God can use you to influence others.

# data[].attributes.body
- it is challenging to make leaders as some are hesitant
- we must understand character and not push ppl too hard rather adjust based on character
- comfort level must no be overlooked
- must stay teachable, leadership is a constant journey
- let them have a self revelation rather than us telling them
- we need to have a goal but to achieve that goal we must have the ingredients holiness, transparency, humility, etc. must have a goal in the end
- we may not have full knowledge of how but as you go thru it learn, collect and make the best out of it.
- invest time with Jesus he will provide practical ideas and plans to succeed
- working on myself has helped dramatically
- feel more of the presence of God as I led by example, serve in a way that helps someone else grow as a leader
- journey is different but the destination is the same
- as leaders we become the warehouse, showcase, pantry

Leaders must have specific vision and mission in mind; goals are then formulated from that.

Leaders are made. Sometimes mindsets cant be changed but what is learned can be applied to make better leaders

NOT everyone is called. Ministers and ministries out there are  unfruitful because the calling is questionable.

Leaders have to develop skills themselves, like David- e.g. "sling shot" he trained, no one knew but one day that skill came in SUPER handy

Experiences in life are the best examples for people to feel that you are one with them. Its not enough to just speak gospel verses, not enough to just hear you, but to live through it

"Undercover Boss" is a show that regular people who are identified as leaders (get promotion) or they are demoted- actions are more powerful rather than words

Leaders must have a teachable Spirit- PhD doesn't mean you stop learning, keep looking for NEW opportunities to grow and lead

# data[].attributes.body
A good leader should be a good listener.

Goal oriented, has to have a vision and people oriented.

Leaders are doers and not just talkers.

Asked to translate from Malayalam to English- thought I had the skills and that it could be done, but failed miserably; ended up lasting only 10 min on stage- someone else took over. Lesson learned; read and study more Bible, and know your limitations

# data[].attributes.body
All 3 are applicable. Leaders are born, called and made. In our mother's womb, God has a plan for us. So we were born into this world for God's calling in our life. But biblically, you are called by God for a certain task. So each person has a calling but that calling can be anything. Its not just stage ministry. Your calling can be teaching, giving ,etc. So a person can be called by God to be a leader but a powerful/effective leader is also made. God makes you into the leader you should be. Leaders are also made by free will, circumstances in life, daily choices and a constant effort to keep up with what they preach.

Question 1:
- Most important trait is to have the mentality of a servant even as a leader.
- fostering creativity and innovation
- it is important to look straight at Jesus and not at others/opponents. Stop comparing yourselves to old leaders and others around you. Keep your focus on Jesus.  We talked about an example - Michael Phelps, a swimmer who said when he competes, he looks straight ahead. not at his opponents.

Question 2:
Overall we thought there was room to improve individually:
- Learn more so we can teach others
- improve at communication
- improve our focus which should be on Jesus and the Cross
- Be more people oriented in a sense of helping others.

# data[].attributes.body
We also talked about what we are thankful for (based on last night's sermon)

- a church that is not shy to talk about things and that does a good job with being opinion to all opinions
- a church that prays. we have a lot of prayer warriors
- a church that is very loving and supportive. we have the love of christ.

Speaker Question: we are all called to be leaders but all three are factors that may affect an individual’s leadership qualities . Being called is an office that is appointed by God but people also need to agree with God’s calling in order to step into their ministry like Jonah.
How to be effective- Being available as a leader, being Relatable, recognizing introverts vs extroverts.
We also talked individually on if we think we are good models and how we can improve in certain areas.
