What generates passion and purpose in your leadership life? (98-5)
What about being a leader makes you get out of bed in the morning? What makes you tick? What generates passion and purpose in your leadership life? Few leaders can articulate a clear purpose statement that they are passionate about for their life. It is ironic that some leaders put more time and energy into planning a two-week vacation than thinking about their leadership passion and purpose during this earthly journey. Read 1 Kings 6:1-8.
Solomon had been king of Israel for four years. David, his father and predecessor, had left the kingdom in good shape and David had insured the transition of power was seamless, launching Solomon’s leadership to a high level of momentum from his first day in office. Solomon was probably now only about 22 years old but had established his leadership, selected his team, negotiated treaties with neighboring nations to insure continued peace for the people and won the hearts of his people.
