God Modeled Leadership

John Maxwell's Commentary in His Introduction to Genesis:
God's Role in Genesis:
God wanted His creation to begin well. He communicated His vision
for the world to Adam, to Noah, to Abraham, then to Isaac and Jacob.
Like all good leaders, God took initiative. Yet He never forced His
leadership on anyone. Each time His people failed, He laid out His plan, then selected those He would invite to take appropriate action. He relentlessly pursued His plan of redeeming men and women from their failures, even as He maintained a relationship with them.

Mike's Thoughts:
There are many leadership lessons in this paragraph and I will use them as Mike's Action Points for today:
1- If I'm to be an excellent leader, I will communicate, communicate & communicate!
2- I will take initiative.
3- I won't force my leadership on anyone.
4- I will communicate my plan over and over.
5- I will select those I wish to invite to take action.
6- I will relentlessly pursue my plan.
7- I will maintain a relationship with my people.
