Swindolls Leadership Lessons Chuck Swindoll was given a Lifetime Achievement Award at the Catalyst 09 Conference. During his presentation, he described 10 Things I Have Learned During Nearly 50 Years in Leadership. Heres the list: 1) Its lonely to lead. Leadership involves tough decisions. The tougher the decision, the lonelier it is. 2) Its dangerous to succeed. Im most concerned for those who arent even 30 and are very gifted and successful. Sometimes God uses someone right out of youth, but usually He uses leaders who have been crushed. 3) Its hardest at home. No one ever told me this in seminary. 4) Its essential to be real. If theres one realm where phoniness is common, its among leaders. Stay real. 5) Its painful to obey. The Lord will direct you to do some things that wont be your choice. Invariably you will give up what you want to do for the cross. 6) Brokenness and failure are necessary. 7) Attitude is more important than actions. Your family may not have told you: Some of you are hard to be around. A bad attitude overshadows good actions. 8) Integrity eclipses image. Today we highlight image, but its what youre doing behind the scenes. 9) Gods way is better than my way. 10) Christ-likeness begins and ends with humility.
