An excerpt from the High Calling, where my article “Leadership Influence” appears today.

…… Leaders don’t have self-esteem problems. We don’t suffer from thoughts of inadequacy. Instead we fear that by exerting our influence we will make others feel insecure. So we hide our light under a bushel, retreating from our God-given ability. We melt into the landscape, camouflaging our talents.

Have you ever been part of a team where no one will step up and take charge? Everyone looks around, hoping, praying that someone, anyone else will be responsible. We know full well that we could be part of the solution, and instead, by our passivity, we become part of the problem….Do you think your voice isn’t loud enough; your character not strong enough; your skills not persuasive enough? I’ve got news for you. The world can indeed be changed…

In the end, He is enough and that’s enough for me.

I invite you to read the whole article here.
