The Leader's Vision.
A leader has a vision. Leaders see a problem that needs to be fixed or a goal that needs to be achieved. It may be something that no one else sees or simply something that no one else wants to tackle. Whatever it is, it is the focus of the leader's attention and they attack it with a single-minded determination.
Whether the goal is to double the teach others, develop a invention that will solve a certain problem, or start a enterprise that can achieve the leader's dream, the leader always has a clear target in mind.
Black Americans don't need a leader! Black Americans need a prophet. Having a prophet indicates God is in our midst.
HARRY,
It won't be you because after 7 years no, you have not moved off the dime. If that was GOD talking to you, why are you announcing yourself before you do the work of GOD. What have you done for the people? In the year that I have known you, nothing.
You don't show the most basic level of people skills of leadership. You don't explain yourself or seem to have the time, skills or the patients to articulate yourself. You bring nothing with you from GOD.
So, why are you here?
Mr. Deacon,
I am not going to argue senselessly with you! I said that Black Americans don’t need a leader now. Black Americans need a prophet.
Once we become a sovereign people in a country of our own as I have indicated then we will have leaders.
But, right now Black Americans need a prophet. Do you think that I am wrong that Black Americans don’t need a prophet? That is the point you must address if you disagree with me.
I am not entertaining any off or out of the way things you mentioned. Am I wrong that Black Americans don’t need a prophet of our own?
If you are not able to say that we don’t need a prophet this is my last comment on this blog.
HARRY,
Sorry HARRY if you don't have a comment on the issue of leadership and can tell me why you are here, you are welcome to stay and enjoy the topic of leadership but if you can't then please feel free to use the door.
The decision is your as always. Did you remember to take your MEDS?
this is my last comment.
HARRY,
One day you will learn that it is not about you, your LIES, Your anger, Your fuming madness, your dogmatic personality or this prophet thing, it is about GOD and his people, which you feel that we are not his until you introduce us to GOD. God has been talking to his people all of the time and it is up to us to listen.
Enjoy the run away on another subject again HARRY.
Be safe... and remember to take your MEDS.
Deacon, I have a question
I read the traits and skills you mention a leader must have, do you also feel that a leader should be immune in having the characteristics of laws of the God? For instance, should a leader always cater to justice of a world's order; or separate from God's order--even if the people feel it right for them?
Powerful comment MIISRAEL!

BETTER TITLE for Deacon Bullying of the mentallyChallenged --- "Is harry the Leader of Deacon?"
These are great questions Sister Bride so, let us take one at a time.
Deacon, I have a question I read the traits and skills you mention a leader must have, do you also feel that a leader should be immune in having the characteristics of laws of the God? For instance, should a leader always cater to justice of a world's order; or separate from God's order--even if the people feel it right for them?
YOUR FIRST QUESTION: do you also feel that a leader should be immune in having the characteristics of laws of the God?
When you use the word Immune, I think of this question being religious in nature. My answer is NO!!! A religious leader and those of us who believe in GOD, must be as close to God’s laws as possible because it is our purpose to bring people who don’t know God, to God.
YOUR SECOND QUESTION: For instance, should a leader always cater to justice of a world's order; or separate from God's order--even if the people feel it right for them?
I believe that a leader should be in character of God’s order whenever possible. The Holy Bible is full of accounts of the Black Hebrew not listening and obeying the word of God, as the people did what they want to do and not what God wanted his people to do. A prime ensample is in THE BOOK OF DEUTERONOMY 28 which was a promise and warning to God’s people and I strongly believe God still talking to his people now.
That story is still playing out today, just look at it, many of our young youth, who grew up in religious families, good families in our major cities and larger towns, who go into the world of the streets, gangs, having unprotected s*x, alcohol and drugs just to mention a few, because they feel that its right for them. It is our duty, the religious leaders in our homes, churches and our communities to be there when our youth come back home, come back to GOD. We must be there as a solution to obeying God’s law.
These are Great questions and if you have any comments to what I said, as always feel free to add your comments.
you DO NOT WANT to answer the Question of Definition of Leader ---- why?
Diversion from European Racist NONSENSE?
Robert,
You was not talking to me when you post this: Oh with this definition Deacon has AGAIN -- no interest in teaching or learning something
Deacon ONLY wants to just BULLY the 68 IQ retardant Harry
BETTER TITLE for Deacon Bullying of the mentallyChallenged --- "Is harry the Leader of Deacon?"
You was talking to Sister Bride, which she gave you a great answer to those statements, nothing, silence which you should have heard loud and clear.
Leadership Skills
Beyond the personal traits of a leader, there are specific skills someone must master if they want to be a leader. •Effective communication - it's more than just being able to speak and write. A leader's communication must move people to work toward the goal the leader has chosen.
•Motivation - a leader has to be able to motivate everyone to contribute. Each of us has different "buttons". A leader knows how to push the right buttons on everyone to make them really want to do their best to achieve the leader's goal. the people that you are motivating are bless with different gifts and talents that will bring out your plans and goals.
•Planning - the leader has a plan to achieve the goal. He/she doesn't get too bogged down in the details, that's what managers are for, but rather uses a high level plan to keep everyone moving together toward the goal.
your limited mental capacity CAN NOT realize YOU do not ANSWER my Question or MIISRAEL
MIISRAEL asked you---- should a leader always cater to justice of a world's order; or separate from God's order?
