Fulfilling Leadership

Here is an incomplete thought for today. Someone I follow tweeted something like 'I never want to have to follow a leader who finds his fulfillment in leadership'. I instinctively understood that to mean someone who glories in his leadership and possibly abuses it. But I had to stop and think about the fact that I am sure that I find some fulfillment in leadership. I believe that I have been called to lead. Surely a leader ought to find fulfillment in leadership?
Wouldn't it be better to say, 'I never want to have to follow a leader who finds no fulfillment in leadership'?

Hi Jenny - it's a long time since I've done any blogging, or followed any blogs. I trust that you and the family are keeping well, and that you're enjoying ministry in the Fairest Cape?

A thought on this thought: Would it be fair to say that "I never want to have to follow a leader who finds fulfilment ONLY in leadership"?

Be blessed.
