Men's Leadership

The topic of men’s leadership has been near and dear to my heart for years. I was not a born leader, and the older I get, the more I learn that few people are. Yet in so many roles in life, men will be put into leadership positions. It is not a question of if but when.

All men (and women, although that’s not the subject of this blog) are called to lead in some way, whether as the heads of our families, as employees responsible for getting a task done, or as guys who stuck their hands up at the wrong time at church and thus “volunteered” to head up the next big outreach project.

I believe there is a crisis of men’s leadership in this nation as so many of us have come to believe the pop culture image of ourselves as idiots who are only interested in munching chips in front of TV while watching football. Don’t get me wrong – there’s nothing wrong with munching chips in front of the TV while watching football anymore than there’s anything wrong with our wives enjoying a tear-jerking chick flick every now and then. But if that is all either sex amounts to, the world is in heap-big-trouble.

Oh yeah, I think it already is. Maybe that’s the problem.

More to follow…and thanks for reading! I welcome your thoughtful comments here.
