A word for Leaders (by J. Maxwell)

- Good leaders understand themselves: their

strengths and weaknesses, their assets, and
their deficits, their talents, and their blind
spots- our image of ourselves must align with
our real identity – When we know ourselves,
including our flaws, we can begin to grow to
reach our maximum potential.

- In comparing the church to the human body,

Paul shows how wide diversity of gifts assures
unity in the church. Each gift contributes
something necessary to the common life and
growth of the whole. – There is no room for
pride and no need to feel inferior in the
body of Christ, - for each individual is
essential to the proper function of the body.
II. How can we ACHIEVE UNITY AND TEAMWORK?

1 Corinthians 12:12-27 –
Promote unity within the body of
Christ. Believe that God places
every member in the body as will
best serve His purposes.
