Do you want to know one sign you’re actually doing well as a leader?
It’s not fool proof, but it’s pretty telling – in my experience.
You’ll know you’re doing good work when…
People oppose you.
And I think we have Biblical principles to illustrate this.
“But I will stay on at Ephesus until Pentecost, because a great door of effective work has opened to me, and there are many who oppose me.” 1 Corinthians 16:8-9
Here is the reality – few people worry about the people doing nothing.
Have you noticed the more you do for good the more opposition you receive?

Great point. I’d be concerned if I went unopposed. That said, you made another comment that I want to expand on, at least in one regard:
“It’s not fool proof.”
Another mistake is for dismissing every opposition. Sometimes leaders do the wrong thing and need to be opposed legitimately. A wise leader will be able to discern the faithful subordinate who brings legitimate opposition to bear.
I agree, Jim. Thank you
