The Properties Of A Leader Poem by Gert Strydom

A leader must have faith
and trust that his plans
and things are going to work.

a Leader must have integrity
and be able to find a way,
through good and evil
and must not seek his own interest.

a Leader must have a vision
and look at the future
and make long-term plans,
rather than to look
at the here and now.

a Leader must be able to act resolutely
and to stay with his decisions
and not to change,
like the wind blows
and be like one
that sees the unseeable.


[Reference: “And by faith Moses,
when he come to years
refused to be called the son
of Pharaoh’s daughter;

Choosing rather to suffer affliction
with the people of God,
than to enjoy the pleasures
of sin for a season;

Esteeming the reproach of Christ
greater riches than the treasures of Egypt;
for he had respect
unto the recompetence of the reward.

By faith he forsook Egypt,
not fearing the wrath of the king:
for he endured,
as seeing him who is invisible.”
Hebrews 11: 24-27]
