- I have a proper view of who I am, who I am not and know the source of my strengths
- I am a secure individual and therefore unthreatened
- I know that I need others and treat them with honor and respect
- As a rule I am non-defensive
- I listen carefully to others and display flexibility
- I do not need to have my own way on most things
- I am willing to share authority and decision making with others
- I intentionally solicit feedback and am open to critique
- I pay great attention to my shadow side and manage it
- I give credit away in success and take responsibility in failure
- I surround myself with people who will tell me the truth
- I live under authority and accountability
- I realize that my leadership is not about me but about the mission
Indicators of Arrogance
- I am self involved and have an inflated view of my own importance
- I live with insecurity which impacts my actions
- I use others for my purposes and marginalize them if they disagree with me
- I display defensiveness and do not want to hear contrary opinions
- I do not listen carefully to others and am inflexible when others suggest modifications to my plans
- I am unwilling to share decision making with others
- I resist feedback or critique that is not in agreement with me
- I pay little attention to my shadow side and rarely if ever acknowledge it
- I take credit for success and blame others for failures
- I surround myself with “yes” people
- I resist accountability and chafe under authority
- The ministry is more about me than the mission
