Why leaders mislead on purpose …

Everyday, leaders of every kind of background purposely mislead the churches, businesses, and organizations they lead.

Here’s why: Many leaders have a profound vision of what their church or organization could be, but believe their people will not pay the cost, do the work, and make the sacrifices necessary to achieve their truest, greatest potential. So, these leaders lead their people toward something less.

Some of these leaders may be right. The majority of the people wouldn’t buy in and pursue their greatest potential. However, many would be wrong. Often we see that many people will rise to the occasion by responding to a challenge to a greater faith, a fuller life, a bigger risk, a genuine sacrifice, and a more profound purpose. All this leads to an important equation:

Leaders need to challenge those they lead to rise to their highest capacity so that those who are willing to respond will do so, moving themselves and their organization forward. The others will always choose mediocrity.

Go with the go-ers!
