059 | Leadership Lessons from Women in the Bible - Part 3 - Esther


Listen Later

Now it would only be befitting to end this series with one of the bravest women in the bible, and that’s Esther. I love the story of Ester. 

There are 7 leadership lessons that we can learn from Esther.

    1. Courageous Initiative - Leadership often requires confronting uncomfortable situations to effect positive change.
  • Strategic Timing - Effective leaders discern opportune moments and act decisively. Timing matters.
  • Selflessness and Sacrifice - Leadership involves sacrifice. Putting others’ needs first is a mark of true leadership.
  • Prayer and Fasting - Leaders should cultivate a strong spiritual foundation. Prayer and seeking God’s wisdom are essential.
  • Using Influence for Good - Leadership is about using our influence to make a positive impact on others and advance noble causes.
  • Silent Strength - Leaders don’t always need to be vocal, silent strength and discernment matter.
  • Faith in Providence - Leaders trust that God works behind the scenes, even when His name isn’t explicitly invoked.
