Being a YFC leader, we are

entrusted to share Christ’s

teachings and motivate others to
lead and live like Him.
 We draw in people and gain
respect from them if we deliver
our work excellently and
efficiently.
❏ Leadership is indeed an
influence.

leadership is competence.
 Competence

It is the state or quality of being

adequate or well qualified. Competence is
a good thing, but we have to be aware
that this can be a source of pride as well.
 We should define competence
through Christ’s example; it is more
than just proficiency and expertise;
it is about exemplifying and inspiring
others to be the same.
Advocating Competence
❏ We are called to be dependable and trustworthy of the
responsibilities given to us.
❏ We must be able to deliver what is expected of us.
❏ We are also called to inspire others, most especially our
members, to be competent.
❏ We must be able to duplicate (or even triplicate) ourselves and
build up competent people in our team because there are a lot
more things to do for the mission.
Answering a Greater Mission

“The one who received five

talents came forward bringing the
additional five. He said, ‘Master, you
gave me five talents. See, I have
made five more.’” ‐ Matthew 25:20
 Just like Jesus, we build our own
team; we build our members, so that
when we leave and move on,
someone will take on the mission.
Engaging
❏ Allow our members to be involved and take part in our
community’s vision and mission.
❏ Pass on the vision to them and inspire them to carry it on
after us.
❏ Allow our members to participate in the planning, asking for
their opinions and suggestions.
❏ make them feel that they are important in making things
happen.
 Energizing

❏ Give them an environment where they are motivated to do their best.

❏ Compliment them for good efforts done. But this does not mean that
we don’t correct their mistakes, instead we allow them to realize that
there are areas where they can improve on.
❏ Provide them constructive criticisms.
❏ Excite our members with the vision.
❏ Allow them to dream for their own and see the bigger picture as to
where they are being called to serve.
 Empowering

❏ Give our members opportunities to grow.

❏ Empower them and give them responsibilities.

❏ Don’t hog the entire task; we delegate responsibilities to

them so they too will have a hands‐on experience with

the work.
 Good leadership is about leaders
who produce better leaders after them.
Same is true for us in YFC, because we know the
mission does not stop with us. None of us are
indispensable here and the mission is
far greater that we are. It is then very
important that we
mold people who
will lead after us and will follow
the examples of Jesus. For us, that is
LEADERSHIP AT ITS BEST
