Leading with integrity means being honest and upright in all actions and decisions, reflecting God's character. A leader's word should align with their actions, fostering trust and credibility.

“The integrity of the upright guides them, but the unfaithful are destroyed by their duplicity.” (Proverbs 11:3)

True leadership involves humility—acknowledging dependence on God and valuing others above oneself. A humble leader serves rather than demands to be served.

“Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves.” (Philippians 2:3)

Christian leadership is about guiding others with wisdom, courage, and servanthood, following the example of Christ. Leaders are called to inspire and influence in ways that honor God.

“Whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant.” (Matthew 20:26)

A compassionate leader demonstrates care and concern for others, particularly in times of need, reflecting Christ’s love and empathy.

“Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.” (Ephesians 4:32)

Generosity in leadership involves giving freely of resources, time, and encouragement, recognizing all blessings come from God and are to be shared.

“A generous person will prosper; whoever refreshes others will be refreshed.” (Proverbs 11:25)

Reflect on how these five Biblical truths—integrity, humility, leadership, compassion, and generosity—are present in your current leadership practices or identify current gaps.

• Integrity: Are your decisions and actions consistently aligned with your values and God's Word? How can you strengthen your commitment to truth in challenging situations?
• Humility: In what ways are you demonstrating humility in your leadership? How do you ensure you prioritize others' needs and development alongside your own?
• Leadership: Are you leading with a servant's heart, inspiring and guiding others toward a shared vision? What example are you setting for those who follow you?
• Compassion: How do you show care and empathy for those you lead or serve? Are there opportunities to better respond to others' needs with Christ-like love?
• Generosity: Are you freely sharing your resources, time, and encouragement with those around you? How can you cultivate a spirit of generosity in your leadership?

Take time to pray and seek God’s guidance in strengthening these qualities in your leadership. What practical steps can you take today to reflect His character more fully in your role?
