Why are relationships important to leaders? - Relationships - TouchPoints

Genesis 2:18Then the Lord God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper who is just right for him.”

Ecclesiastes 4:9-10Two people are better off than one, for they can help each other succeed. If one person falls, the other can reach out and help. But someone who falls alone is in real trouble.

People were created as relational beings, and leaders are no exception. Leadership is not simply about getting things done, but getting things done through, with, and for people. Relationships, therefore, are a central element of leadership. In many ways, the people of any community come to reflect characteristics of their leaders.
