Piper on Leadership

CJ Mahaney asked John Piper this question in his blog: What single bit of counsel has made the most significant difference in your leadership? This is Dr. Piper's response:

"Lead by helping people see the same truth in the Bible you do so that commonly perceived truth is the fabric that binds together. When truth is not the bond, power moves are inevitable."

Great advice for church leaders - we must lead by the authority and persuasion of God's word or we are left only with 'power moves'.
