“All In” Leadership (#1156)

2013/08/27 By Greg

B LomenickBrad Lomenick, leader of Catalyst, recently shared twelve attributes of what he calls “all in leaders.”  These leaders are totally committed, and willing to do whatever it takes to be successful.  Lomenick’s list includes the following attributes:

  • You are trustworthy. 100%. Always with no exceptions.
  • We is much more important than me. If I win, the team wins. If the team wins, I win.
  • You get it done no matter how long it takes.
  • Your intentions and goals are clear.
  • Your hard work and excellence is done with pure motives. You are not worried about climbing the ladder or impressing anyone.

So What?

I don’t know about you, but personally I have only two options: lead as an “all in leader” or step aside.  Whenever possible, I prefer to work on teams led by “all in leaders” because I know my time and effort will make a difference.

  • Do you consider your pastor(s) and key lay leaders to be “all in”?  Why or why not?
  • Share an experience of serving as part of a team led by an “all in” leader.
