Coming together is a beginning,
staying together is progress,
and working together is success.
– Henry Ford
In reading a blog post by Jeffrey Harlow in Unpacking Ideas, I was motivated by this comment, “In short, the heart of transformational leadership is that everyone involved in our organization has confidence that our leadership team believes in, clings to, and tenaciously implements our mission.”
We, as leaders, must be confident in the mission that God has called us to lead. Going from believing to knowing is a maturity in leadership, that comes from clearly articulated goals to accomplish the mission. Trust comes from the authenticity manifested and created by trust within the team.
We strengthen relationships by building trust with those whom we lead through clarity of vision and authenticity of commitment.
