7 Inspiring Leaders and the Traits That Made Them Great
4. Motivation and communication. A leader must be able to motivate. That’s what gets people to follow. You aren’t a leader unless someone is following. You must be able to communicate in such a way it motivates people to do what must be done for the vision to be realized.
One of the best motivators/communicators is Robert Morris of Gateway Church in Dallas. His church is constantly growing. In only 14 years, it’s grown to an average Sunday attendance of 27,000. (On Resurrection Sunday, the attendance was 50,679.) The Kings University recently moved to Gateway, which has ministries too numerous to mention here. There are many reasons why Gateway has grown, but one reason is that Robert knows how to communicate. He can get otherwise stingy people to understand the blessing of giving. You can disagree with him about something and still leave his presence feeling good. That’s motivation!
