Leadership is the ability to influence others. Biblical Leadership is the ability to help someone move from where he is now to somewhere else so that she or he can fulfill God’s plan in her or his life. People need leaders, or else they tend to stay in the same place.
Leaders have existed in all cultures throughout history. From Egyptian hieroglyphics, we know that symbols for “leader” existed as early as 5,000 years ago. Moreover, it is easily observed that leadership plays an important role in organizations of every kind. Without Joseph, the entire ancient world would have been destroyed by famine. Without Moses, the children of Israel would have remained in Egypt. Without Joshua, they would have remained in the wilderness. Without David, Israel would have been overcome by Goliath and the Philistines. Without Paul, the early church would likely have been deceived by the errors of the Judaizers.
