E. 10 Tough Questions Leaders Must Ask*

Proverbs 28:16, Proverbs 28:26

1. Do I realize it is impossible to glorify Christ and myself at the same time? (Lead with humility)
2. Do I lead to win over people or to win souls? (Lead with purpose)
3. Am I doing the things I am asking others to do? (Lead with integrity)
4. Do I pray as if nothing of eternal value will happen in the lives of others unless God does it? (Lead with prayer)
5. Am I touching the hearts of those I lead? (Lead with transformation)
6. What’s it like to be on the other side of me? (Lead with authenticity)
7. Do others experience God’s love through me? (Lead with love)
8. Am I making others better around me? (Lead with serving)
9. Do I seek personal gain through people I lead or serve them like Christ served the church? (Lead with sacrifice)
10. Am I allowing my leadership to produce the fruit of the Spirit in others? (Lead with excellence) *-Dan Britton
