The leader of character (Part 3)
Dr. Roberto Miranda
(Audio: Spanish)
SUMMARY: The importance of character in a mature leader is emphasized in the Bible. The six areas of character are personal virtues, relationships with others, self-control, ego control, teamwork, and teachability. The first family of qualities is virtues, which includes integrity, sobriety, humility, transparency, knowing oneself, observing the environment, and being tolerant of imperfection. Tolerating imperfections means having patience and understanding that there is a tension between the search for excellence and tolerance. A mature leader seeks excellence but is not a perfectionist and looks for practical solutions. They must also consider the context in which they are working, such as the level of education or sensitivity of the people they are working with.
The last quality in the virtues family is empathy, which is the ability to get in tune with the feelings or situation of others by identifying with them and seeing things from their perspective. This quality is important for effective leadership because it allows leaders to understand and minister to the needs of their followers. However, there is a tension between being empathic and demanding from people, as leaders must also push their followers to improve and not be manipulated. Leaders with empathy must also have emotional and spiritual strength to exercise patience and mercy, and maintain a balance between compassion and integrity.
Moving on to the own domain family, the first quality is the ability to hold onto convictions and operate according to principles, even if it comes at a cost in the short term. This quality requires a long-term mentality and trust in the power of principles over time. Successful leaders have the ability to think long term and not seek immediate gratification.
A leader must think long-term and prioritize principles above immediate gratification. They must have conviction, be willing to pay the price, and not yield to pressure. This attitude requires faith that principles work and will lead them forward, even in times of turbulence. Shortcuts and easy solutions should be avoided.
