[SLAP!!] Thanks, I needed that!

"One axiom of leadership I have come to appreciate reads, 'leaders do not inflict pain, they bear it'.  In the same manner, leaders do not absorb praise, they re-direct it.  The success of any Christian leader lies significantly in their ability to keep this two-fold movement of leadership in balance.  Leaders who inflict pain lose trust and dishearten their people.  Leaders who absorb praise produce resentment and sacrifice motivation."

A quote from, "Becoming a Leader of No Reputation" by R. Scott Rodin, Journal of Religious Leadership/ Vol. 1, No 2 (Fall 2002), pp. 105-119
