"LEADERSHIP THAT MAKES A DIFFERENCE"
Dr. Dennis Deese, Fan The Flame Ministries, Inc.
ACTS 6:1-8
Many people who serve in positions of leadership only hold a position and never make a difference. Things and people remain the same during their tenure and time is lost that can never again be retrieved. God help us all to be leaders that make a difference. Are you making a difference in your given areas of responsibility? Are you merely holding a position and failing those you are to be leading?
Notice I didn’t title this "significance difference" because I believe that leadership that makes a significant difference is long-term leadership.
How would you describe Leadership that makes a difference?
