Introduction

Leaders are called to serve God by serving his people. Biblical leadership is an investment in people. This kind of leadership gives leaders an opportunity to live beyond themselves and above their own dreams. The godly leadership position is not at the top, it is in the middle of God’s people where there is a true sense of push and pull from different directions. Through such interaction, leaders are able to equip their followers to accomplish God’s purpose for their lives. In order to achieve this, leaders need to develop and nurture a set of people skills. These are skills necessary for healthy interaction between the leader and his/her followers. They enable the leader increase their ability to get along with others, communicate effectively, and achieve common understanding.
