Now that the summer is here for most of you, you may be to a point where you are starting to think through and accept candidates for leadership positions within your ministry for the fall semester. I would encourage you to at least think through what students are modeling leadership characteristics or potential for leadership. In doing so, there are certain characteristics that experts say are common to healthy leaders. In fact, Tim Elmore has provided some assessments on leaders emotional intelligence, or EQ. On his blog, Tim quantified these characteristics in his blog titled Inseperable (Part Seven): Relationships as follows:
1. Self awareness
2. Self management
3. Social awareness
4. Relationship Management
He continues to identify certain skills that these healthy leaders build in themselves, which are also helpful to identify in your collegiates.
1. They're a host. (They take initiative with others).
2. They're a doctor (They know how to probe with good questions)
3. They're a counselor (They know how to actively listen and empathize)
4. They're a tour guide (They can take someone on a journey and succeed)
Always be evaluating your students and keep an eye out and an ear open to potential leadership characteristics or potential within your ministry. I hope your summer has started...and has started off well.
