Why Leaders Exist

Posted in General by Benjamin Toalston on December 1, 2010

My answer to the question is this: Leaders exist to create a shift in reality.

Without leaders, things drift along. They go where they want to go, following the path of least resistance. However, when this is not desirable—or acceptable—you hire, elect, appoint or become a leader. The leader’s job is to overcome resistance and make things flow in a different direction. His or her job is to create a different reality.

I like this article and I especially like the statement, “His or her job is to create a different reality.” It reminds me that our job as worshippers is to change the reality around us from that of this world to that of heaven. That God inhabits our praises. Yes, our job as worshippers is to usher in Jesus’ Kingdom into the here and now.
