What makes a godly leader? Most people would say, “Vision, charisma, courage” or a host of other things. That’s true; those things are absolutely essential, but the root of godly leadership goes much deeper. Most people are focused on the effects of leadership instead of the root cause.

I had never been to a leadership conference or listened to anyone’s teaching about it until a year ago. As I listened to the main speaker, I was blessed and impressed. He was sharing truths that bore witness with my spirit, but it also brought a lot of questions.

At the time of this writing, Andrew Wommack Ministries has over 1,000 employees and over 9,000 students enrolled in our Charis Bible College all over the world. I say this only to verify that I am in a position of leadership. But how did I get here without knowing these things? I was perplexed.

As I analyzed this, the Lord began to show me some things that have lit a fire on the inside of me to share with others about leadership. This has certainly worked for me, and I know it will work for you too.

I believe everyone is called to some measure of leader- ship. Each one of us influences others more than we realize. That’s really what leadership is—influence. But if you are called to be a leader of many people, you are going to need some special skills to accomplish that. If you don’t have the ten essential elements I’ll be sharing with you in this booklet, you are going to struggle at best and give up at worst.

The way that I approach this may be different from other books on leadership. The reason for this is, I’m imparting what God has revealed to me personally. This didn’t come all at once; it’s a culmination of revelation I’ve received from decades of ministry. If you can apply what I’ve learned, being a godly leader will be the natural result. I pray that the Lord would give you revelation of these truths so that you can be the leader He wants you to be!
