Not every leader is the one in charge, but every real leader acts like an owner. To them, what happens to the team or the church is personal; it effects them or someone they care about directly.

They harbor long term thinking and won’t sacrifice the future health of the church for short term wins. Nor do they allow short term setbacks to cloud the long term vision.

The phrases “that’s not my job” and “I don’t care” are never heard coming from their mouths.
