We measure many qualities when choosing our leaders. Among these are ideology, ability, intelligence, character, and team-building skills. One that might be easily overlooked is temperament.
Let's add it to the mix:
" A hot-tempered man stirs up strife,
but he who is slow to anger quiets contention."
(Proverbs 15:18 ESV)
Another is ability and willingness to seek and utilize wise counsel... especially from those who disagree with you.
" Without counsel plans fail,
but with many advisers they succeed."
(Proverbs 15:22 ESV)
And a few other qualities....
What kind of leader are you preparing to be?
" Folly is a joy to him who lacks sense,
but a man of understanding walks straight ahead.''
(Proverbs 15:21 ESV)
" The heart of the righteous ponders how to answer,
but the mouth of the wicked pours out evil things."
(Proverbs 15:28 ESV)
Look at these pictures ... If you are not familiar with this sport, can you tell who the captains are?
