The need of the people of the world today is more than just having food to eat, clothes to wear and house to live in. The greatest need of our world today is leadership. Our world needs leaders who meet the physical, spiritual, economic and political needs of the people. Many leaders today don’t have the capacity to actually meet these needs. As a matter of fact, the only leader who have embodied all these characteristics was Jesus Christ. Listen to Podcast: A Sneak Peek into the Future of Leadership Jesus for example led physically.

In Mark 11:23, the Bible says: “For assuredly, I say to you, whoever (not just the apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors or teachers) says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says.” That means whoever that says something can have whatever he or she says. That shows us how powerful the words we speak can go a long way to frame our world or shape our experiences. Listen to Podcast: Framing Our World through…

Last week, one of the things we said was that organizations goes through either a period of change or a period of crisis. Either of these two must take place in the lifecycle of any organization.

Another year in the cycle of man is coming to an end in a matter of days and the Lord has impressed it on my spirit to talk about this subject: Understanding the Whole Essence of Man. One of the things that we were made to understand in the last Leadership Fellowship is that man must be fully aware of his full identity and nature if indeed that man wants to walk in perpetual dominion and victory. It is quite unfortunate that many would go into the new year with little or no knowledge of who they are. Man, in…

Today I want to share with you something that has been titled: Essential Competences of System Leaders, and we want to look at Jesus as a case study. Last week on Leaderview, we examined Systems Leadership for Sustainable Organizational Growth and one of the many things we said was that Sustainable organizational Growth rests upon three things: The Leader, The Team and the Organizational Structure.

Today on Leaderview, I want to talk to us about something that has been titled: Systems Leadership for Sustainable Organizational Growth using a particular scriptural reference that I discover to be very interesting in this regard. I want to reveal to us how systems leadership engenders sustainable organizational growth. Sustainable organizational growth in itself rests upon three things. Number one is THE LEADER, number two is THE TEAM and number three, THE ORGANIZATIONAL STRUTURE.  These three things must be in place and effective if there would be any sustainable organizational growth.
