Effective leadership has always been a vital part of the Lord’s work.As the restored Church continues to expand at unprecedented ratesaround the globe, effective leadership is today more critical than ever.In offering this book on leadership, we acknowledge that we areno different from you who are reading it. Like you, we are simplytrying to do better and be better in our service to the Kingdom ofGod. In these pages, we share some of the teachings, nurturingmoments, and training that people and the Spirit of the Lord havegiven us. We esteem ourselves no better than anyone else (see Alma1:26). Yet with a desire to serve and bless, we offer this work with thehope that it will help all who seek to be better leaders.Leadership is stewardship. Faithful stewards:• seek the will of Heavenly Father and share that vision with thepeople they serve.• live by every word that proceedeth from the mouth of God (D&C84:43–46).• draw strength from the grace of God and from the infinite andeternal Atonement of the Savior Jesus Christ.• measure every thought and act against the principles of righteousness.• embrace the counsel to “Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; andlean not unto thine own understanding” (Proverbs 3:5).• as always, are Spirit-directed in all things.These are not simply “nice” things to do when convenient. Theyare absolutely imperative. Effective leadership stewards work hard toperfect their own gifts and skills and they constantly acknowledge andseek inspiration from the source of their gifts and skills.
