Confidence in Leadership – Too much, too little

March’s Leader VLOG is out!

It is a crazy time with COVID-19 complicating trip planning and with social life going digital. But, that makes it a good time for a discussion about leadership. What do you say?

Thank you, Saundra Dunn, for another great video and some wonderful prompts for thought. This week, the topic is CONFIDENCE. Do you have it? Do you show a bit too much? How can we reign in the excess but still put our teams at ease?

Watch the video, find the question, then scroll to the bottom and answer the question in the comments. Participation is key because your views and thoughts are what make the leadership program so powerful for many others.

Confidence has two sides.

It can be great in leadership as to make the followers feel solid, safe, and secure. It can also look foolish if overplayed or done in insecurity.

There is still room for you to be honest about not having every answer in every situation.

Confidence isn’t knowing all the outcomes but knowing how to handle things and make smart decisions that are solid in the face of uncertainty. The point is to make your team feel secure and safe in your leadership. This builds trust and helps them have the best trip possible. It gives them room to step out because they know that they have someone who has things under control that allows them to try things out and step out in faith.

Question: How do you lead with confidence AND decide to be real and honest with your team?

This is the 3rd In Motion Ministries Leader VLOG (Video Blog) where we take into consideration what it takes to be an effective leader on the mission field. Mission trips are a very unique place to be a leader. In Motion has trained leaders for years in how to lead short term mission trips in various countries.
