Nehemiah Develops Others-Nehemiah 2:5-6:14

1. Leadership is influence (2:5-8, 16-18).
2. Great leaders are effective communicators of vision (2:17, 18).
3. Leaders possess tremendous faith in people (3:1-32).
4. Great leadership is always assisted by others (3:1-32; 13:13).
5. Problem solving is the quickest way to gain leadership (4:7-23).
6. Everything rises and falls on leadership (4:9-15).
7. Leadership can be taught (4:21-23).
8. Leadership must be in the hands of few, ministry in the hands of many (5:1-7).
9. The most important ingredient to leadership is credibility/integrity (5:14-19).
10. Leadership takes responsibility for every area of the task (6:1-14).
