• Listeners. Good leaders don’t always have to be talking. Sometime, if not most of the time, students need to vent to someone they can trust.
• Quiet. Good leaders don’t have to announce to everyone that they are leaders or that what they are doing is leading.
• Investors. Good leaders know how to invest in a student’s life. They spend time with them, know how to communicate with them and aren’t afraid to pursue them. Good leaders don’t just lead on Sundays but invest in students throughout the week.
• Imperfect. Good leaders aren’t afraid to admit their mistake and move on. They don’t come across as perfect or look down on students who are struggling. They come alongside and encourage.

These are great qualities for great leaders. Thankfully, EPIC has great leaders who exemplify these great qualities but we can all keep learning and striving to better in the role(s) God has placed us in.
