So he shepherded them according to the integrity of his heart, and guided them by the skillfulness of his hands. Psalm 78:72
David’s leadership succeeded through a two-sided coin: his hands and his heart, or outward skill and inward integrity. Every great spiritual leader must have this combination. David’s excellent leadership combined both heart and art. To have one without the other leads to failure. Consider the following list of eleven keys to excellence, aimed at helping us to develop our leadership skills today. Leaders must:
1.Value excellence
2.Not settle for average
3.Pay attention to detail
4.Remain committed to what really matters
5.Display integrity and sound ethics
6.Show genuine respect for others
