I'm amazed and disappointed about how us (leaders) have the awesome ability to open mouth and insert foot at various times in our life. This seems to be consistent with everyone, not just leaders. There seems to be two major failures that we make and I'm mentioning them in hopes to remind us what not to do! 

1. Leaders that fail to act on what they say. We constantly ask people to do things that will improve their relationship with God and people, but we fail to display a life that actually believes it. Leaders that lead will lead by example. 

2. Leaders that fail to filter what they say. We have this awesome privilege to speak and influence people, whether from the platform or in casual conversations. Unfortunately, the things we say can either positively or negatively affect our ability to lead those who follow us. Leaders guard their mouth. 

"Whoever guards his mouth preserves his life; he who opens wide his lips comes to ruin." 

Proverbs 13:3
