I'll admit it, I like the minions…
And the little yellow creatures have been at the heart of the Despicable Me franchise for years.
Yet, at the heart of these films it is Gru. A man trying to learn how to be an effective leader. He constantly struggles to lead his minions effectively.
So, why should Gru or anyone look to the Bible for good examples of leadership?
Most of the celebrated leaders throughout history may not have been perfect. Still, despite their flaws, they rose above themselves to impact history.
One great example is Nehemiah from the Bible.
An unassuming leader who rose to the challenges set before him. A servant of a king who became the saviour of a nation.
His story is one of courage, considerable opposition, and being the right man at the right time in history.
Are you looking for a good example of leadership, Nehemiah’s story is a great place to start.
