Sanders warns against spiritual compromise, selfish ambition, and faithlessness regarding situations that seem at first to be impossible. The leader must learn how to go on in times of failure and how to avoid jealousy whenever a rival succeeds. The latter chapters in the book focus on the need for a leader to delegate responsibility and to leave the organization with a proper replacement.
Chapter 5 helps the reader discover his or her aptitude for leadership through a twenty-two question test, which is approximately half of the chapter (pp. 36-37). These questions are designed to uncover both natural ability and spiritual giftedness.

True greatness,true leadership,is found in giving yourself in service to others, not in coaxing or inducing others to serve you. True service is never without cost. Often it comes with a painful baptism of suffering. But the true spiritual leader is focused on the service he and she can render to God and other people, not on the residuals and perks of high office or holy title. We must aim to put more into life than we take out.
