AKL Module 2.6 – Level One Leadership: Leading Yourself

📌 Overview
In this lesson, we begin introducing the concept of leadership levels by focusing on Level One Leadership – leading yourself. You’ll discover that before leading others or building organizations, a leader must first develop integrity, self-control, and personal discipline. This session emphasizes that true leadership is rooted in character and is formed in the private, unseen areas of life, where consistency and alignment with God are established.


📖 Scripture Focus:
“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control…”

Galatians 5:22-23 (NASB)


Key Takeaways:

✅ Level One Leadership is self-leadership – learning to govern your own life effectively.

✅ Leadership flows from character – integrity must match gifting and skill.

✅ Self-control is essential – leaders must manage emotions, habits, and behaviors.

✅ True leadership is formed in private before it is demonstrated in public.

✅ Integrity means consistency – being the same person in private and public.
