Identifying Leaders

"If you are looking for leaders, how can you identify people who are motivated by the drive to achieve rather than by external rewards? The first sign is a passion for the work itself - such people seek out creative challenges, love to learn, and take great pride in a job well done. They also display an unflagging energy to do things better. People with such energy often seem restless with the status quo. They are persistent with their questions about why things are done one way rather than another; they are eager to explore new approaches to their work."

- by Daniel Goleman from the Harvard Business Review, November-December 1988

Christian leaders have an additional advantage - we are motivated by love for God and love for each other.
