VALUE-DRIVEN LEADERSHIP
Psalm 15: 1-5
What qualities should every leader possess? Psalm 15 furnishes us with a list of many of the necessary traits.
David describes a righteous man who walks in integrity and gains not only the respect of others, but also an audience with God – Psalm 15; 1, 2. He demonstrates why predetermined values and ethics, not expediency, must drive our leadership. How does David picture a godly leader? The leader . . . .
- Possesses integrity – v2
- Does what is right – v2
- Is honest and trustworthy – v2
- Does not gossip – v3
- Does not listen to gossip - v3
- Does no harm to others – v3
- Speaks out against wrong – v4
- Honours others who walk in truth – v4
- Keeps his word even when it costs – v4
- Isn’t greedy to gain at the expense of others – v5
- Takes no bribes against anyone – v5
- Is strong and stable – v5
