I was writing a paper on contemporary leadership styles and it seems that the "transformational" is very popular right now. The most interesting part was that "Moses'" name kept showing up.

Could it be that leadership is most likely, when it is least possible, in order to prove that GOD is in the process, not men? Perhaps this should all start from scratch, based on Moses as a leader. Then again, most leaders today simply delete that which is at variance from their preconceived position. A burning bush that could not be consumed created curiosity and a leader. Look for burning bushes in your quest.

But I’m new here and need some clarification to understand our “purpose” to better focus my thoughts about “theology of leadership.” To give you a starting point from which to clarify your own discussion, may I suggest that perhaps your purpose might be: To understand your own perspective of what God expects of human leadership, To understand your religious tradition’s perspective of what God expects of human leadership, To address a present situation and need, and possibly To facilitate reform of one or both of those perspectives. I think this focus will help me understand your commentary better. Thanks! I like your start on leadership and have myriad thoughts.

Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others." When people sense when a leader is genuine, humble, and recognizes his/her own struggles with sin, they will follow. The old saying is still just as true today, "People don't care how much you know, until they know how much you care."

It may sound to simple but sometimes simple is better.

I will say that I've been blessed to be around some great leaders and great thinkers on the topic of leadership. I'm going to do the unusual and refer to someone else's blog. http://innerresourcesforleaders.blogspot.com/ This is a blog by Corne' Bekker who works as a professor of leadership at Regent University. I've seen his comprehension of leadership first hand and appreciate is Bible focused approach to understanding and applying leadership. Btw...if you and the family swing through Raleigh on your RV tour, coffee and hugs are on me. :-) Tony…i think my theology of leadership is a continually evolving thing.
