Wisdom for Leaders

SH

Got this from a friend's blog - thought of sharing this out:-

Chapter 46 – Wisdom for Leaders in Richard Exley’s “Man of Valour” intrigues me. According to Pastor Gordon MacDonald, a leader has to deal with four basic types of people :



VIPs (Very Important People) – They are today’s leaders. From them, a leader receives strength and encouragement.

VTPs (Very Trainable People) – These are tomorrow’s leaders. They are like VIPs in talent and temperament, but they lack their experience and maturity. To achieve their full potential as men of God, they must be trained and discipled

VNPs (Very Nice People) – They like to be seen with the leader and count him as their friend. Usually generous and kind in nature. VNPs are fun to be with, but by the same token, they seldom make a significant contribution to the accomplishment of the leader’s vision.

VDPs (Very Draining People) – Tend to be insecure individuals with a long history of rejection. Since the leader is a compassionate man, they are drawn to him, demanding more and more of his life. Their neediness wil consume him.



Food for thought : Which type are you? As for me, I’m all types at different sessions in my life. Haha. Now that I’m aware, I’ll keep myself from being a VDP!!
