The Distinction Between "Lead" and "Leader"
Quote From: The Polar Express Hero Girl: It says "lead." Like "lead balloon." Conductor: I believe it also is pronounced "lead." As in "leader," "leadership." "Lead the way." Follow you anywhere, ma'am. I want to make the distinction obvious between the fact that I chose the word "Lead" and did not choose the word "Leader" as my One Word for 2013. I am not in the process of learning how to work my way into a position of leadership. That does not appeal to me. What I am learning is how to lead those who "follow" me. Those who are watching me or my family. How we do life. Those I am mentoring or discipling or teaching. Those who come along for a brief moment in time and ask for insight, prayer, acceptance and/or discernment or those who join us for the long haul in this thing called life. Leadership comes in all shapes and sizes. A majority of the time... it just happens....
