Leadership Biographies

Greetings LDG!

It seems like forever since we have been together.  I miss all of you and our time on Tuesday, fortunately we will be back this Tuesday ready to hear two new stories, so come prepared.  I am way, way, way over due on giving y'all instructions on how to prepare your presentations for the leader biographies so here they are at last!

Begin with presenting your leader as a person.  Present a brief overview of their life including significant events, people and accomplishments.  Having established them as a person move to presenting them as a leader.  Talk about what type of leader you think they were, what leadership characteristics they possessed, and what type of influence you feel they had on people and society.  Describe some of the scenarios where their capacity as a leader was very evident and then present for us lessons on what we can learn from them as we seek to become leaders.  This would include lessons perhaps of what not to do.  Finally, I want you to classify them as a spiritual leader, a secular leader or a secular leader with spiritual qualities and defend your reasoning.  We will begin presenting these on February 18th.  Each of you will have an hour to present.  During that time you will be leading the group.  You can be as creative as you want in your presentation.

This is an exercise that is designed to show us duplicatable leadership qualities we find in other leaders, but even more so it is an exercise for each of you to demonstrate your ability to gather and process information and then to communicate it to a group with effectiveness and engagement.  Part of being a leader is group presentation and always communication.  If you have questions post them as a response to this post so the whole group can read them because others may have the same question and then I only have to answer them once.  Thank you all for your commitment to this process.  It has been such a joy watching each of you grow and blossom.  I can't wait to see how God uses each and everyone of you for His glory!

Your brother in Christ,
Faron
