Christian Leadership is only effective with Christ being the leader of the leader's life. 'Not I' but 'Christ' as was/is/will be, said by many a christian leader. However, it is easy said and preached but 'doing' it what marks the leader. The proximity to onces followers is pivitol for christian leadership as exemplified by our Lord himself during his mortal days on earth. He lead by 'sharing his life' not mere 'showing example'. If Christian leadership can reach that zenith of sharing ones life than 'leadership' would become more pronounced and aptly championed.
Oswald Chambers warns us to beware of the temptation to stay between God and the person we are leading. He points out that as soon as the person sees Christ, we should get out of the way. Our cause is Christ.
