I will not try to lead, If I cannot get to the top

You do not have to be in the top of your organization to make a difference. To make a difference requires skills and you can learn these skills to be able to influence people at every level of your organization even if you are not in the top of your organization.

One Biblical Example is Jonathan in 1 Samuel 19:1-23:18.


Jonathan was the son of King Saul and the heir to the kingdom but because of his love for David and his friendship to him, He faithfully served him to the end. Because He knew that God chose David to rule over God's people over Israel. From the story of Jonathan, we can learn principles in leading even if we are not in the top positions:


1. Take initiative and accepts responsibility
2. Serve others in your organization and add value to them.
3. Earn the trust of those around you in your organization.
4. Have faith and courage.
5. know the heart of the senior leader, embrace it, and communicate the senior's  leader's visions.
