Christ-Centered Leadership Foundations Initiative

Purpose:
The Christ-Centered Leadership Foundations Initiative centers the word of God as the source of how people think about, write about, and act in leadership roles, responsibilities, and behaviors.

Provide a scripturally-based leadership description that defines the ideal when leaders center their relationships and responsibilities on Jesus Christ. Christ-centered leadership: (1) transcends title, position, or status (self); (2) promotes self-confidence through receiving divine inspiration and striving for righteousness (self); (3) exerts positive influence (stewardship); (4) seeks relief for the oppressed in body, mind, or spirit (God's children); and (5) submits to the will and commandments of God (God).
