Leadership is more than what you do—it begins with who you are. Skills may open doors, but character determines whether you are ready to walk through them. In this session, you will examine the heart behind your leadership, the importance of commitment, and what it means to answer God’s call to lead with integrity, humility, and faithfulness.
By the end of this session, you will understand why character must come before position, recognize the attitudes and commitments that strengthen healthy leadership, and identify areas where God is developing your heart before expanding your influence.
Leadership begins in the heart long before it is seen through a title or position. Before attending this session, take a few moments to consider the condition of your heart, your character, and the kind of leader God is developing you to become.
1 Samuel 16:7 (NIV)
“People look at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.”
Proverbs 4:23 (NIV)
“Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.”
What character quality do you believe is most important in a leader?
What is one area of your character God may currently be developing?
How do you normally respond when no one recognizes or rewards what you do?
What do you want people to experience because of the way you lead?
In this session, we will explore why effective leadership begins with the heart. You’ll discover how character, integrity, commitment, humility, and faithfulness shape the kind of leader you become—and why who you are matters just as much as what you can do.
📩 Your personalized Character Discovery Summary will be emailed to you after completing the check-in.
Think back to your Character Check-In from this session. Choose one area of character that God showed you needs intentional growth.
This week, identify one real situation where you can practice that character trait before focusing on the task, position, or result.
For example: patience in a difficult conversation, humility when receiving correction, integrity when no one is watching, or self-control when you feel frustrated.
