Effective Leaders

Truthfully I like to believe that God won’t put limits on someone. I see the example given but I also know the power of God. I don’t think He calls anyone to be small.. I think we get stuck at small because we refuse to let Him work in those areas that would increase our capacity.

Leadership Capacity.As we learned that "Everyone has influence so everyone is a leader".As Jesus called us to make disciples, God is calling us, we have weakneses, that's why we need Jesus. Walk in the Spirit,as the Holy Spirit is our teacher. As we follow Jesus in our life, he will lead us ,we grow in him. As a leaders, we need to embrace the servanthood. Humbleness and willing to learn /teachable spirit. Be comfortable with God who created us and calls us and use the gift that he entrusted to us.
We can increase our capacity as a leader by drawing ourselves to Jesus. Faithfulness ,obedience as Jesus molding us. If we are faithful in small things ,his desire is multiplication. -We need to know ourself,we need to practice lifelong learning, walk in the spirit,grow in your sense of calling, empower others,and aiming open to new ways of doing things.

Leadership capacity should not hold you back from doing what God has called you to do. You could minister to a large congregation by cultivating leaders within your church to care for people and the leaders you are cultivating are the ones you are leading. Being aware of our capacity ensures we don't burn ourselves out by trying to take care of everyone and focusing on what we have capacity for.
You can increase leadership capacity. Seeking God's direction would be first on my list, and based on what I've learned I would then increase my influence by getting out in the community I live in and meet new people from all walks of life. This has been so rewarding and has opened me up to impacting people I would not have met staying in my usual circles.

I agree that not all leaders will have the same capacity, and I further agree that we can all increase our capacity and become better leaders.
I absolutely believe that I can increase my leadership capacity. One of the main areas of growth required for me personally is to stop trying to do everything myself! I tend to avoid working in groups, as I often find it easier to just do things myself. But as a leader, I must look for opportunities to allow others to get involved in order for them to grow as well.
