And Judges is about leadership too. Churchill liked it for more than one reason:
"Third, Deborah participated in the execution of God’s solution (4:9). She did not merely encourage others “to lay it all on the line” for the Lord. To the contrary, she was right there in the midst of the battle. Someone has suggested that leaders who inspire others to act are leaders who “stay close to the action.” The Mayo brothers, founders of the famous Mayo Clinic, required all surgeons who had not operated for at least three weeks to return to the operating room, first, as an assistant. Why? They had been away from the action for too long!

In like manner, Winston Churchill, was a man who frequently showed up in dangerous places in both World War I and II, and he is considered one of the most inspirational leaders in history. You may be in a leadership position, but are you a leader? Real leaders inspire others to action, even if it means exposure to danger zones.
