What will a lapse in character cost you? (80-5)

Written by Barry-Werner on July 31st, 2009. Posted in Character, Exodus, Gifts, Judges, Leader Qualifications, Leadership Principles, Old Testament.

To build trust, a leader must exemplify three qualities: competence, connection and character. People will forgive an occasional mistake based on ability, especially if they can see that you’re still growing as a leader, but they won’t trust someone who slips in character. If a leader has an occasional lapse in character, it is lethal. No leader can break trust with their people and expect to keep influencing them. Trust makes leadership possible. Read Judges 13:24 – 16:31.

In The Maxwell Leadership Bible, Maxwell looks at Samson and the Law of Solid Ground.
