Leadership as an Identity: The Four Traits of Those Who Wield Lasting Influence

by Crawford W. Loritts

Overview

Ask yourself this question: What character qualities define a godly leader?

The question leaves out too much. Asking only about character seems inadequate. What about personality, communication skills, IQ, education, previous experience, and more . . . right?

Author Crawford Loritts answers this question with four simple words: brokenness, communion, servanthood, and obedience.

These four characteristics provide the framework for Leadership as an Identity. Examining each trait, Loritts undermines the pervasive and unbiblical assumptions about leadership.

Loritts imparts timely wisdom, correction, and direction. God doesn't look for leaders like the world does. He looks for disciples.

What People are Saying About This

From the Publisher

There are many definitions and examples of leadership today. My friend Crawford Loritts writes that the responsibility of leadership must be received as a God-given trust. God builds our inner life to equip us with the convictions, the strength, and the resources necessary to lead in ways which leave a legacy for future generations. This book will inspire and equip you to become a leader God uses for His glory.
