Your high ownership combined with authority orientation can make you overly controlling - you may struggle to truly empower others rather than just delegating tasks
Your anchor focus pattern means you sometimes get too locked into your original plan, missing opportunities to adapt when community needs shift

Recommended Next Steps

Practice stepping back in meetings - actively invite input from quieter voices before sharing your views
Schedule regular check-ins with community members who think differently than you to pressure-test your assumptions
Identify several key responsibilities you can fully release to others, including the authority to make final decisions

Spiritual Foundation: God calls leaders to be both shepherds and servants - authority flows from sacrifice, not control

🌟 Your Calling

Your natural authority and ownership likely means God has equipped you to take on challenging transformation work that others might avoid. But He's calling you to lead like Jesus - with authority that empowers rather than dominates.

🎯 Growth Challenges

Learning to trust God's timing rather than forcing your preferred pace
Developing genuine humility while maintaining strong leadership
Balancing conviction with openness to God working through others

✨ Spiritual Insight

Your extreme ownership reflects God's heart for taking responsibility for His people. Your authority orientation mirrors His sovereign power. But His perfect leadership always builds up rather than controls.
