*LEADERSHIP PROCESS EFFECTIVENESS*
Mark 3:14 And he ordained twelve, that they should be with him, and that he might send them forth to preach, 3:15 And to have power to heal sicknesses, and to cast out devils:
*Appointment*: Great leaders know and understand the principle of appointment. They understand that a leader needs a leader. Sometime you need to be identified for leadership functionality. I like it when it said ordained. It means separated for a special task. It was Jesus who appointed them. It is painful that these days many leaders are appointing themselves. Self appointment leaders don't last long.
*Teamwork*: Jesus understood the principle of team work. He didn't appoint Peter only but 12 apostles. In leadership you need other leaders or your team. Many organisations fail because of trying to do it alone. Everything is with the chief leader. I call it briefcase leadership.
*Governance*: Twelve is the number of governance especially spiritual governance. We should understand that leadership is spiritual and effective governance cannot rule out the hand of God. Many organisations start well but try to leave out God in the equation. Let's go back to the Chief Governor our maker, the originator of leadership.
*Naming of a leader*: Other versions say that the twelve were named or called apostles. It was a name defined by Jesus. When God calls you into leadership, what does he name or call you. Many people masquerade as apostles, prophets, Bishops, pastors, CEOs, Emeritus, Giant Killer, Demon Destroyer etc. The question remains; what did God name you when he appointed you into leadership?
*Relationship*: The disciples were to accompany Jesus, they were to be with Him. It signifies relationship. A leader must be related to the one in authority for effective leadership. Many leaders operate in isolation of the one who appointed them. Many spiritual sons lie that they are under their spiritual father when not. Many leaders are leading without Him. Many leaders are rebellious to the system that appointed them.
*Assignment*: The disciples were given an assignment. They had to know it. The assignment was actually to duplicate and grow the ministry of Jesus. They carried the power of being send. They were to preach, do, healings and deliverance. How often do we digress from the sending authority and the assignment? Do you understand your assignment? Don't try to do another person's assignment. Do yours and you will be an effective leader.
