Every contact we have as individuals is actually potential influence for good or for bad. That means influence equals leadership! The question we need to explore now is, "Am I a good leader?" Here are some of our previous topics which fall mainly into 3 categories:
Spiritual formation - "Who is the leader?"
Skills formation - "How does he/she lead?"
Strategic planning - "How can he/she lead sucessfully?"

“Yet such is oft the course of deeds that moves the wheels of the world: small hands do them because they must, while the eyes of the great are elsewhere.” Master Elrond (The Lord of the Rings, book 2, ch. 2)
There is a great divide between the self-importance of pride and the clear vision of the humble; and as Master Elrond hints, it's the little ones that do the big deeds!
Here are some questions for you...
- Why is pride dangerous?
- How does pride blind us?
- How has pride been at work in my life?
- How is God calling me to humbly serve?
- What will I do about it?
Some Biblical perspective on these questions can be found in Matthew 23, Proverbs 16:18, and I Peter 5:6
