8 Principles of “LESS is MORE”
Leadership
BY: DALE BURKE
These chapters we are about to discuss will unfold step by step, eight disciplines for being a leader and still having a life. These disciplines are gleaned from Jesus example as a leader over a worldwide venture. The 8 core principles were each taught and modeled by Jesus and then reaffirmed in the leadership manual for the early church, and when they are followed, they lay a sure foundation for effective missionary leadership, as well as a balanced joyful life.
“These eight principles work because they are truth with a capital “T”. they transcend the ebb and flow of modern trends and fads. Modern leadership research often discovers and reinforces them. But never can begin to replace them. These principles empower effective leadership and be applied wherever you lead; at home, at work, or at church. Good leadership always involved these 8, and we’re going to discover how we can make them real in our lives. They will help you to lead effectively… and still have a life.
