I think that the greatest test of leadership later in life is how we respond to our success. Do we let it go to our head or do we give God glory? Do we use it to build an army of fans or do we use it to make fans of Christ?
I think the greatest test of our leadership early on is how we respond to our failures. Do we go into self-defense mode? Do we abdicate responsibility? Do we try to make ourselves look better than we actually are? Or do we embrace the failure as an opportunity to learn?
In both instances, it’s a matter of who holds the reins on our lives. Is it all about us? Or is it all about God?
I firmly believe that we will not respond to our success well if we don’t first respond to our failures well.
