Courageous Leadership; Chapter 9, The Art of Self-Leadership

All great leaders I've read (in the field of Christian leadership) press themselves harder than I suspect God is pushing. Read Augustine, Luther, Wesley, and now Hybels. What you'll find in each of these people is a drive to ever improve the way they honor God in all they do. So here are Hybel's challenge to each of us to be 360 degree leaders. Here are the questions he wrestles with:
  • Is my calling sure?
  • Is my vision clear?
  • is my passion hot?
  • Am I developing my gifts?
  • Is my character submitted to Christ?
  • Is my pride subdued?
  • Am I overcoming fear?
  • Are interior issues undermining my leadership?
  • Is my pace sustainable?
  • Is my love for God and people increasing?

How do you answer these questions? Are there other questions we should be asking ourselves?
