Motivation and Leadership

Proverbs 21:4 (MSG) Arrogance and pride—distinguishing marks in the wicked—are just plain sin.


Why we do what we do says more about the hidden nature of our character than what we do – how we behave.

Arrogant leadership, its motivations hidden from public view, is self-centered and limiting. In Success Built to Last, the authors suggest that leadership that succeeds over time is attributable to the strength of the cause they pursue: "Enduringly successful people serve the cause--and they are lifted up by its power."

Here is a cause to consider: Find and control the motivations that are just about you. Feed and nurture the motivations that are about helping and building-up others.

Do you spend time "looking in" and "cleaning up"so you can better look out for others?
