Probably the most memorable verses in Galatians are those list the “fruit of the Spirit” (Galatians 5:22). Fruit grows from planted seeds. Every Leader should embrace this marvelous list of inward qualities. Evaluate yourself against them.

Love: Is my leadership motivated by love for people?

Joy: Do I exhibit an unshakable joy, regardless of life’s circumstances?

Peace: Do people see my peace and take courage?

Long suffering: Do I wait patiently for results as I develop people or goals?

Kindness: Am I caring and understanding toward everyone I meet?

Goodness: Do I want the best for others and the organization?

Faithfulness: Have I kept my commitments?

Gentleness: Is my strength under control? Can I be both tough and tender?

Self control: Am I disciplined to make progress toward my goals?
