  How do Dr. Ward’s definitions of leadership, ministry, and calling compare with your own?

  My understanding of leadership is influencing others toward a common goal.

  I always felt it was modelling a behaviour or teaching something or serving others, taking care of others, helping, supporting, making a difference. (I like the more-succinct definition of “influence” :))

  Again, due to the churches I was raised in as a young person, leadership seems to have been relegated to adults that were involved in specific roles within the church, i.e. Sunday school teachers, pastors, deacon, etc.

  I have always thought of leadership as someone who makes good decisions for the group as a whole, never their own agenda. Someone who can lead a group regardless of differences. Getting that group to understand and work together for the greater good.
  I thought that it was unattainable, and in these past few years, I have come to realize that I can be/am an influencer.

  My understanding has been leadership has been instructing or overseeing another person or group. Teaching, directing, and providing support. The idea that leadership means ‘where you have influence’ is a much better concept that my previous understanding.
