Wisdom for Leaders - Dag Heward-Mills
A leader is someone who is ahead of his followers. That is what makes him a leader. You’ve got to be seen to be at least one step ahead of the people you are leading. Jesus was a good leader.
He was definitely one step ahead when it came to prayer. He prayed more than His disciples did. He preached more than His disciples did. He sacrificed more than His disciples did. A Christian leader has invisible areas in which he must stay ahead. It is his leadership in these invisible areas that make him a true leader.
Ten Areas for Every Christian Leader to Stay Ahead In
1 . Stay ahead in prayer.
2. Stay ahead in Bible reading.
3. Stay ahead in reading Christian books.
4. Stay ahead in listening to tapes.
5. Stay ahead in sacrificing to God.
6. Stay ahead in the area of giving.
7. Stay ahead in waiting on God.
8. Stay ahead in holiness.
9. Stay ahead in the love of God.
10. Stay ahead in your relationship with God.

Are you a leader? If you are, then you must be at least one step ahead! You must not only be a step ahead in public, but you must be a step ahead in private. If you are prayerful in secret, your followers will recognize it and do likewise.
It is important to realize that things are not perfect. Most decisions that a leader will have to make are not decisions between the obviously good and obviously bad. Most things are not a clear-cut choice between black and white or light and darkness. A good leader must recognize the need to decide when he is faced with such choices. A good leader knows how to choose the lesser of two bad options.
Often, life presents us with two bad choices. Many leaders are paralysed into inaction because of the imperfect choices presented to them. They refuse to take that important step because they cannot see two very contrasting alternatives.
