Developing Leaders for the Third Millennium situation. How did your business, product, church, cause, etc. arrive at its current status? What historical, political, economical, sociological, or environmental factors play a role? What do your critics say, and why? What about opposing strategies? What sort of ideas are shaping those whom you want to influence? What insights can authors offer you about your general context, your own presuppositions, your opponent’s worldview, etc? History repeats itself – every several generations. If we read widely (meaning not just the guys you agree with) we save ourselves a lot of wasted time, effort, and embarrassing miscalculations. Plus, we’d have the additional benefit of being well educated and well rounded. Ideas have consequences. Service As I wrote in my book, The Samaritan Strategy, many Christians, particularly those with strong theological or political orientation, are anxious to lead but unwilling to earn the right through service. They want a big following or to be elected to Congress because of their superior ideas. Unfortunately, most people are slow to recognize such “brilliance”. What they do notice is that you have your own agenda and don’t seem particularly concerned about helping them formulate or advance their own. Leadership is earned through service. When we serve, we volunteer to take responsibility for whatever it is we’ve volunteered for. When we serve well with responsibility (ability to respond) to our tasks; we are awarded authority concomitant with our responsibility. Thus, the more responsibility we take and discharge well, the more authority we’re granted. Sooner than we think, we work our way up from bus boy to manager, from club secretary to club president, from lowly volunteer to press secretary, from volunteering on city committees to being elected to the city council, form altar boy to pope (well, okay, there are some exceptions!). Who is God? Many leaders, in seeking to serve God, eventually tend to confuse their will with the Almighty’s. A common joke among all too many Christian staffers goes something like this, “What’s the difference between God and (name of the leader)? God doesn’t think He’s (name of leader).” 37
A Festschrift for Colonel Doner Lest we think too much of ourselves and our mission, let us remind ourselves that we are but briefly passing and thus will be briefly used. Solomon, in probing the mysteries and meaning of life and calling, exclaims: “Let us state the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God and keep His commandments, for this is man’s all” (Ec. 12:13). If we focus on Solomon’s advice, the rest will, in God’s sovereign hands, fall into place. ____________________________________________________ Colonel Donor has served in national leadership positions since age 17. A nationally recognized Christian Right leader in the 70’s and 80’s, he has founded and led a dozen businesses and cause-related organizations in the United States and Europe: all but one (his first venture) were successful. He is a popular conference speaker and writer. He is the husband of Miriam Doner and father of C.J. Doner; they reside in Auburn, California. He can be contacted at samaritan-group@mindspring.com 38
