observations<\/a><\/strong> in terms of how they can be applied within a church context, you skillfully extract and reference components within the closing paragraph of Lincoln\u2019s inaugural address connecting them with some very key servant-leader traits which speak to both his authenticity and his compassion for people. As a measure of his authenticity, I believe that Lincoln reflects what Northouse (2016) states to be an \u201cintrapersonal approach\u201d, which emphasizes a leader\u2019s life experiences and the meaning he or she attaches to those experiences in terms of developing others (p. 196). Leading from deep conviction was one of his strengths; however, Lincoln did have the benefit of leading through an earlier term in the highest political office in the land. I suppose in the sense of identifying reality in the context of church, politicians, like church leadership, or even more so, the body, can also stumble without spending adequate time with others that can help them see, as you stated, the big picture. Ultimately, Lincoln had the benefit of hindsight to develop his foresight; therefore, in the context of leading through and with others, our ability to listen, ask and involve as many people as possible, we need both a critically-minded approach and the often-elusive resource of time.<\/p>\nMatt<\/p>\n
