The True Holiness Community (ekklesia) is integrated into the body of Christ, which is a spiritual organism with heavenly gifts and callings. Mandated leadership is important to the spiritual and temporal effectiveness of the church by providing direction for its various functions and maintaining the connection between the members of the body and to the Head of the body

In his article “Speaking a Common Language” Frances Hesselbein stated: "Today leaders speak a common language. It is understood across the borders that once separated business, nonprofits, and government and moves just as easily across cultures, countries, and continents. It is a global language of mission, strategy, and customer, as readily understood by leaders in Beijing as in Boston.

To today's business, government, and nonprofit leaders of change, the principles of leadership are basic, generic to all organizations, and universal in their reach and relevance.

As we talked with our Chinese colleagues, we used the same language to describe the power of mission that we use when we work with the Salvation Army, the U.S. Army, Texaco, or the American Federation of Arts. Vision. Mission. Goals. The actual words are different in every language, but the power of those words is universal. And with a common language, people in every sector, in every culture, can have dialogues of great meaning." This has not always been the case.
