We begin with Share the Vision. In my previous message, I mentioned how leaders both instruct and inspire those who follow. “Instruct” deals with imparting knowledge about the vision. “Inspire” motivates others emotionally to join the cause and to commit themselves to it.
In some ways, a leader resembles an athletics coach. He or she teaches players the fundamentals, skills and strategy. While that is an excellent start, it is not enough. Before and during matches, the coach must motivate players to play with energy and passion. I would assert that church leaders do the same.
