I'm currently reading a book by Wayne Cordeiro called 'Doing Church As A Team.' It's filled with great insights that are worth reflecting on as a leader.  We all have moments of insecutiy as leaders but with God's enabling we can become secure servants of God.  How can you tell if you're insecure?  Look at the following 10 point list and assess yourself.

A Secure Leader                                                                      An Insecure Leader

Encourages others attempts                                                       Sabotages others efforts

Points out others’ strong points                                                   Brings attention to others faults

Overlooks flaws                                                                          Uses others’ flaws as ammunition

Readily admits own mistakes                                                         Is defensive and justifies mistakes
