Leadership

Seems like everyone is talking about leadership these days. "Leadership" even seems to have become a whole genre on its own. Books by John Maxwell and hundreds of others top the best seller lists, huge conferences at mega-churches are attended by thousands, and I'm sure there's even "an app for that."

What's missing in all of that is a recognition of where the root of natural leadership development so often lies: in the very young.

You probably wouldn't normally think of a room full of four, five, and six year olds as global leadership development, but that's exactly what it has the potential to be. If we do our job as parents, pastors, teachers, and role models, those children won't have to read a book or attend a seminar to know how to rise up and serve a generation with powerful godly leadership.
