If you’re a coach or athlete, then you’re a leader. You’re either at David or a Saul.
Key Points:
- If you’re a coach or athlete, you are a leader by default.
- Saul failed because he was motivated by the opinion of people; David succeeded because he was motivated by the opinion of God.
- Saul was an insecure leader who put a stranglehold on his position; David was a servant-leader who put people ahead of himself.
