Dear Lucy Leader … Characteristics of a Good Leader
Dear Lucy Leader,
I have just been elected president of my local group. I am very excited to serve in this manner, but I am also nervous. I want to be the best leader I can be. What are the characteristics of a good leader?
Elected Elaine
Dear Elected Elaine,
I thank God that you are excited to serve as president of your local group! Your excitement and passion will be very beneficial in your new leadership role.
The most important thing as you begin your new role is to remain connected to the leader — Jesus. Stay in the Word and in prayer. Ask others to pray for and with you.
Leadership is not only a position to which we are elected or appointed, but it’s also a way of living and thinking. LWML understands the importance of strong leadership and has material that can be used for personal study and learning. These materials will help you to understand what a good leader looks like. You will find these materials at www.lwml.org/posts/leadership/look-of-a-leader.
May God use you to be a blessing to the group you are leading!
Lucy Leader
