There are actually many who don't know what to look for in a leader - so here are a number of points that I decided are worth sharing:
1. What does the leader in question know about hardship (2 Timothy 2:3 NKJV)? Life experiences?
2. Has he or she done years of manual labor successfully in a trade (tentmaker example, Acts 18:3)?
3. Is he or she honest? Or does he or she place much value on talk and charisma, being phony, the suit and tie and appearances (tongue of angels, but a gong? Fine clothes 1 Cor. 13:1, James 2:2)?
4. What does he or she know about nourishment and well-being (proof of accomplishments, wellness, strength, resonance, victories, "...as an athlete..." Eph. 5:29, 2 Tim. 5:2)?
5. Does he or she have writing publically available for free?
6. Is he or she servant-minded and not manipulative and "bossy" (Mt. 20:26).
7. Caring and generous? Pays dues on time?
Unfortunately, it's unlikely that many men and women interested in being a leader meet these standards, currently. Sadly, those who are excessively privileged seem to gain manipulative power. Those who do have lots of money are allowed to be pushy. He or she who has lots of money can gain much power. Today, the animal kingdom and the animals that live in groups, in a way, govern themselves better than humankind... in that natural strength with inward power is the way leadership, rather than a tool and scheme of misleading power (money misused). Can we please stop listening to the uncaring and aloof who inconsiderately abuse their privilege and have manipulative advantage by means of wealth? The amount of money you have should not be the indicator of leader. Even a homeless man (Christ was homeless), should not be excluded from leading because of a lack of his finance.
