“One time, when I was very little, I climbed a tree and ate these green, sour apples. My stomach swelled and became hard like a drum, it hurt a lot. Mother said that if I'd just waited for the apples to ripen, I wouldn't have become sick. So now, whenever I really want something, I try to remember what she said about the apples.”
― Khaled Hosseini, The Kite Runner

Effort makes you. You’ll regret someday if you don’t try your best now. Don’t think it’s too late but keep working on it. It may take time but there’s nothing that gets worse when you practice. You may get sad, but it’s evidence that you are doing good.

— Jungkook

“Maybe I made a mistake yesterday, but yesterday’s me is still me. I am who I am today, with all my faults. Tomorrow I might be a tiny bit wiser, and that’s me, too. These faults and mistakes are what I am, making up the brightest stars in the constellation of my life. I have come to love myself for who I was, who I am, and who I hope to become.”
― Kim Namjoon

This animated video showcases how a leader works together with their team.
In the first clip, we could see how the penguins moved together as a unit in order to tip the ice over and avoid getting eaten by the predator.
In the second clip, one of the ants was in danger, so the leader ant directed its team to form a barrier to save the endangered ant. It was also interesting how they put themselves in danger in order to protect a single member. This shows how no one gets left behind in a team.
Similar to the second clip, the third clip shows how a leader got their group together to fight for one of the team members.

LESSON ABOUT CHRISTIAN LEADERSHIP QUALITIES (OCT. 7th)

LESSON ABOUT CHRISTIAN LEADERSHIP QUALITIES (OCT. 7th)

# data[].attributes.body
A leader and his team are one group, just as Jesus and the church are one. Jesus carries the sins of His children and so should a leader carry the weight of his team and empathize with them. Good leaders should put themselves in the shoes of their team whenever they are facing hardships in order to help them learn and grow from their unfortunate experiences. This also allows the leader to learn life lessons from their team and become a better leader.

# data[].attributes.body
When a leader leads with integrity, they are being honorable, and  they will always do what is right no matter the circumstances. An honorable leader will never give up the Biblical morals and principles they live by when faced by challenging situations. According to this verse, living with integrity leads a person to the presence of the Lord forever. Therefore, if a leader guides others with integrity and has influence over his team, they will adopt this quality and learn to love God and reach His presence.

# data[].attributes.body
A selfless leader puts his team’s needs before his own. This quality is important because a leader should be aware that what they do is teamwork, not a one man’s job. A good leader should not be greedy and ambitious for their own success, instead, work in unison with the team and be ready to serve in order to be triumphant.

Looking through a spiritual lens helps us see things as God sees them, without judgement, and through different perspectives that we once could not see.

This Law states that "Trust is the foundation of Leadership" so a solid ground leader must base his leadership on trust and build his character on the basis of integrity, honesty, authenticity and discipline.

“Followers are attracted to people who are better leaders than themselves.”

Maxwell states that people gravitate towards six major qualities in a leader: natural leadership ability, respect for others, courage, success, loyalty, and value added to others.

John Maxwell acknowledges that it’s tougher than other laws to explain because it’s not as concrete. As he describes it, “The Law of Intuition is based on facts plus instinct plus other intangible factors, such as employee morale, organizational momentum, and relational dynamics.”

Your intuition is the gut feeling you get when you know something is right or wrong. It’s an instinct that you can cultivate by knowing your job inside and out and understanding your team’s unique dynamics.

t states that “who you are is who you attract.” To succeed as a leader, you have to build a great team around you. To build a great team, you have to know who you are looking for and what qualities you desire.

All leaders attract followers. If you are a leader of influence, people want to read what you write and hear you what you have to say. They want to spend time with you to learn from your experience. A leader’s influence affects the desires and ambitions of those who follow him.

The Law of Connection states that “When it comes to working with people, the heart comes before the head.” Logic will only take you so far—in order to really get people on board with your mission, you need to connect with their emotions.

Leaders who are looking to be effective must connect with people.

We love God above all else, and we recognize God’s Word as the infallible truth and source of all wisdom. Love is central to every Christian.  As Christian leaders we need to be driven by God’s Word in everything we do.

# data[].attributes.body
Based on what I learned about Christian Leadership, I'm certain that God is calling me to be a Transformational leader for His Glory. My calling is to be of inspiration and a role models to others so that they may be led to Jesus and know of Him. I also felt God called me to specifically use those Spiritual Lenses more often, because I am constantly side-tracked and blinded by my own blurry vision and I trust too much on my own strengths. Therefore, I need to trust Him more in order to be used by Him as a Transformational leader.

# data[].attributes.body
Following a very thorough self-evaluation, I consider Idealized Influence a very strong trait in my leadership. Judging by comments my classmates, friends, and family members have said about me, I am a respectable person whom they admire and are glad to be associated with. I am usually taken as a role model and as a standard, which is very rewarding to me. Another strong trait I possess is Individualized Consideration. Whenever I am in charge of a group I try my hardest to motivate and support each of my teammates individually depending on their needs.
On the other hand, a trait that I need to strengthen is Intellectual Stimulation. I find it hard to be innovative and to find creative solutions to problems. This is something I have been trying to work on not only for when I am leading, but for when I face personal obstacles as well.

I believe I will come back to this Leadership Portfolio once in a while, to see the nice comments from my friends and to 'keep myself on check' when I find myself lost and struggling to lead. What I am grateful for the most in this portfolio, is the amount of Christian support there is. Everything in here is meant to help me become and succeed as a Transformational Leader, and I really appreciate it.

What learnings do you take with you after compiling all the knowledge you have built in your leadership portfolio?

# data[].attributes.body
This year's Leadership class has been the most enriching I have ever taken. In this class we reinforced our knowledge on the Laws of Leadership while researching how these laws were applied both in the Bible and in worldly scenarios. Something new I learned in this class is the differences between Transformational and Transactional leaders, and how to filter things by looking at them through spiritual lenses, so I am not blurred by my own vision, rather see things as God sees them. Through all these new learnings and a few tests taken, I was able to know myself and my type of leadership.
