The voice of your character must be louder than the opinions of the crowd if you are going to sustain great leadership over time. People can make you think you are better than you really are or they can convince you that you have nothing to offer. I learned a long time ago to live my life before an audience of One. Ron Edmondson has some excellent advise:
“There is a sobering reality every pastor and leader needs to understand. Knowing this one can protect your career—help keep you from burning out—and guard your heart.
I see this impact leaders from all generations—but, I must be honest—I probably see it even more in our youngest generation of leaders entering the workforce.”
