Power Acronym 21: L.E.A.D.E.R.S.H.I.P.

Virtuous Leadership

Today’s Power Acronym was sourced from a book published by the church I attended growing up in Edgewood, TX.

The book documents the history of the 135 year old Cheatham Memorial United Methodist Church.

Decades ago one of the leaders crafted this Power Acronym as a code of conduct for leadership teams.
