The leader of character (Part 1)
Dr. Roberto Miranda
(Audio: Spanish)
SUMMARY: The speaker welcomes the audience and emphasizes the importance of leaders being hard-working and courageous. He encourages leaders to be in a perpetual state of development, investing in themselves for the benefit of God's work. The speaker references biblical passages, such as Titus 1, to emphasize the importance of character in leaders. He divides the character of a leader into six categories, including personal virtues, relationships with others, self-control, ego control, accountability, and vision. The speaker emphasizes the importance of leaders mastering their emotions, impulses, and fears. He also stresses the importance of ego control, noting that leaders should not be overly concerned with their image, and should be willing to admit when they make mistakes.
The six areas of character for a leader are: ego control, teamwork, teachability, integrity, ethics, and spirituality. A good leader needs to have a balance of all of these qualities in order to effectively lead and influence others. It's important for a leader to be able to work with people who have different perspectives and be open to criticism in order to continue growing and improving. Integrity is a key aspect of a leader's character, and it involves being consistent in words and actions, admitting mistakes, and unifying ethics with spirituality. A leader's public and private lives should also be in harmony, and their character should be whole without any compartmentalization.
The whole person is one who is of one piece and has integrity, without compartments or divisions. Sobriety means being balanced, thinking before acting or speaking, and considering all factors before making a decision. Humility is accepting one's mistakes and seeking the benefit of others as a servant leader. These virtues are essential for effective leadership.
The effective leader should always give credit to the people they work with and acknowledge the contribution and input they have made to their leadership. Humility and self-esteem need to be balanced in leadership. A leader should not have low self-esteem, rather a good leader needs a healthy self-esteem. The humble person can get to the point of recognizing that they are proud. Servant leadership, leadership that serves, serves others and does not dominate others, is a very interesting teaching that can be beneficial. Humble leadership is the leadership of the window and the mirror. Knowing when to use one and the other is important.
In this speech, the speaker discusses the importance of transparency in leadership, which involves being sincere, admitting limitations and weaknesses, not manipulating others, and not having a hidden agenda. The speaker emphasizes the need for balance between transparency and caution, and warns against using the position of power to hurt others. The speaker also argues that leaders should show their internal struggles and flaws, as this humanizes them before their followers and increases their respect.

Brothers, welcome, it's a pleasure to see you this morning and I'm glad to have you here on a slightly cold morning, we know. I know that some of us would have wanted to stay at home, but it is good that we are here and by doing so you are entering into the leadership dynamic, because leaders have to be hard-working and courageous. I see the Lord over and over again using those words for his leaders. Gideon told him, the Lord is with you, a sleepy man and a eater... no, he told him, a strong and brave man.
And what was Gideon doing when the Lord found him? I was working, I was threshing the wheat to prepare it to make food or to sell it, whatever. I was being diligent.
