40 Days of Training for Leaders
This module emphasizes the importance of self-discipline and integrity for leadership, using Apostle Paul's experience to illustrate how a lack of discipline can lead to disqualification or failure in ministry. The text compares leadership to driving a car, where the leader is the driver and responsible for directing the car's path while maintaining its maintenance. It encourages readers to differentiate between passengers and drivers and to note the difference between being a leader and a follower, especially concerning the responsibilities that come with being a leader.
This online course is designed for anyone interested in developing their leadership skills. It explores the ten habits that effective leaders practice on a daily basis. Students will learn how to establish clear goals and objectives, communicate effectively, develop emotional intelligence, exhibit self-discipline, build and maintain strong relationships, continuously learn and grow, empower and delegate, be decisive, lead by example, and build a support system.
