Leaders are called to lead diligently. For them to be effective in their call, they are required to develop aset of skills. As leaders develop their skills, they increase their capacity to perform, leading to better results. The leader’s skills refer to his or her handwork-what the leader does. A skill is the ability to use one’s knowledge to do something well. Leaders’ skills involve the application of his or her knowledge to a ministry or leadership situation.
The leader may develop skills to further enhance a strength (such as preaching or leading) or to shore up a weakness. For example, your job that requires you to do administration, but you’re not good at it. Thus you develop administrative skills to help make up the deficit. Leaders who are able to develop skills become an asset and add value to their teams since they give proper direction.
