Selfless Leadership in the Salvation Army

Leaders are only leaders if they have followers. Leaders and followers should have an idea of where they want to go and why that path is the correct one. As the master teacher and leader of Christians, Jesus Christ told His disciples that, "e;If the blind lead the blind, both will fall into a pit (Matthew 15:14b, NIV)."e; In the twenty-first century, falling into a pit is not an option for serious selfless leaders. Each have an obligation to lead with honesty and are accountable to the other members of the group. The aforementioned should always be at top of mind. The organization's sustainability efforts will be rooted in possibility because of this.
