Godly Principles Never Change and He Knows all things – Why don’t we Follow God? Because of Sin and Pride etc.. Faith and Repentance are needed – Humility is need too etc..
Our (people) need to develop qualities of leadership. (They need to learn the value of staying power—stick-to-it-iveness.)
Pinegar, Ed J.; Duncan, Rodger Dean. Leadership for the Saints (p. 12). Deseret Book Company. Kindle Edition.
In short, if you genuinely want to be a better leader than you believe you are now, you can improve if you (1) faithfully practice correct principles and (2) petition the Lord for the associated spiritual gifts. Just as our salvation is secured through the
fine balance of grace and works, so great leadership is realized through our hard work and the Lord’s merciful bestowal of gifts of the Spirit. In fact, if you faithfully practice correct principles and make yourself eligible for spiritual gifts, you might even become a
great leader. Great leaders are great leaders because they value the results of great leadership and because they are willing to pay the price of continuous improvement. ( In the Lord’s way! )
Leadership in the Church is about vision and imagination and stretching for greater heights. It’s about affirmation and encouragement. It’s about teaching and correcting. It’s about good listening and good coaching.
It’s about planning with a purpose and turning good plans into good results. It’s about changing lives for the better. I fear we have learned too much over the years about programs at the expense of insufficient understanding
of principles. If we had learned more principles, priesthood leaders all over the world would be solving local problems with local resources without waiting for something to come from Church headquarters. Members would be helping each other without waiting for an assignment. —Glenn L. Pace3
This book is about service through effective leadership. ( Godly Changing Leadership from inside out…)

Hold Up Christ’s light –
We can do that only when we have light in our own lives. Therefore, hold up your light that it may shine unto the world. Behold I am the light which ye shall hold up—
