Kindness

I used to think that was all that mattered. But there's something more. In being a leader, kindess is extremely important. You have to love your section. However, you also have to lead with determination, correction, and purpose. Acting like a friend doesn't always gain someone's respect. Just because you love them doesn't ensure that they will follow. Neither does discipline. A combination of both Christ-like love, and caring reproof only for the good of the person and section will be effective. Man, and preparation...I need to go.

Yeah, if people were nothing but kind then things that only wanted to be heard would be said. Things that only made it more comfortable for others would be done. Where's the growth in that?
