We’re a few weeks into 2020, and according to statistics, most people have already quit on any “resolutions” they made.

Whether you intended to lose some weight, stop an old habit or start a new routine, hopefully you’re still going.  In this post, we’ll some great resolutions specifically for us as church leaders.

The best leadership comes out of the resolve a leader has made in his or her heart.

The resolve of a leader is a predetermined approach to way a leader will lead. These are personal convictions, values, and personally held beliefs, which shape the decisions a leader makes and the way he or she responds to others.

Ultimately a leader’s personal resolves – about anything – determine the way they respond and their actions towards it.

Most often these resolutions are made even prior to being in a leadership position.

The resolve of a leader is powerful. In fact, if a leader wants to improve his or her leadership, he or she must often improve first their personal resolve.

So, do you want to improve your leadership?
