Letters to the Next President: Beyond Approval Ratings

Sunday, August 10, 2008
Message By:  Pastor Ken Harvey

All leaders have some level of authority. They have the authority to make important decisions. They have 

the authority to assign others to a particular task. But not all leaders have influence.  Not all leaders live 

with their words in alignment with their actions.  In other words, leaders may have positional authority, 

but no moral authority.  That raises the questions: Is authority more important than influence?  Are you a 

leader because of your influence or your authority?
