LEADERSHIP PRINCIPLES FROM NEHEMIAH
Neh.intro
Scripture presents numerous role models for leadership. Few, however, are as fully developed as the example of Nehemiah. Under authority from King Artaxerxes I, he returned to Jerusalem to rebuild the city, beginning with its broken-down wall. Numerous principles of effective leadership stand out in the account, including the following:Leaders Have a Sense of Mission (Neh. 1:5)
• Leaders Leverage Their Power (2:5)
• Leaders Conduct Research (2:12)
• Leaders Build Community (2:17–18)
• Leaders Adapt to Adversity (4:8–9)
• Leaders Resist Underhanded Politics (6:5–9)
• Leaders Serve People (7:1)
• Leaders Celebrate Often (8:1)
For further discussion, see Neh. 1:5; 2:12; 4:8–9; 6:5–9; 8:1.
