Your Leadership Mandate

You are mandated to lead!

Your leadership enables each person to reclaim the characteristics of God given to him as bearer of God’s image. Leadership must help others fulfill their mandate to reflect and represent the image of God. Leadership must help every person do that which God put them on earth to do: fill the earth with His glory.

This is leadership in its ultimate, created, eternal, and fullest sense. Show me a person who is actively reclaiming and cultivating their created attributes (i.e. active and purposeful, rational, creative, exercise dominion, moral, relational, free and responsible, loving, merciful, faithful, interdependent, and generous), and I will show you a true leader.

Leaders are not born!

Leaders are not made!

Leaders are created!

You have been created with the full capacity for this one essential purpose of the human enterprise – to restore within yourself and within each other the long-forgotten image of God so that we can fill the earth with the glory of God. You were created for this purpose. This is your leadership mandate.

You were created to lead!

You have the created capacity for leadership!

This is the truth about leadership!

This is the Genesis Principle of Leadership!

Now go out and lead!
