Jodie's Chapter 7 Post: The Likeable Hero

Are leaders put into  leadership "just because"?  I think they are drawn there by others because they are likeable and also in ministry because God has given that person favor to be 'drawn' into that position.  These people  are placed in positions because of there likeablility,  it is easy for them to connect with others in all different ways and are generally enjoyable to be around.  Their strengths have put them there.  I like the 5 Signs of Likeability:   Approachability, Stickiness, Trust, Friendliness, Flexible optimism.  I plan on putting these on a note card and review them often,  just to keep myself in check!  Let's not be who we were yesterday,  we are all a 'work in progress.'  Philippians 2:12 says, "Continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling."
