Many youth don’t see themselves as leaders. They assume leadership is reserved for bishops, CEOs, or class presidents. But leadership is a gospel principle—one that every disciple of Christ should develop.

The Book of Mormon is full of powerful leadership lessons. If we teach these lessons through action, not just words, we can help youth become strong, confident leaders in their families, missions, and communities.

4 Leadership Lessons from the Book of Mormon

1. Lead by Example – Nephi’s Faithful Obedience

📖 “I will go and do the things which the Lord hath commanded.” – 1 Nephi 3:7

Nephi didn’t wait for someone else to take action. He led with faith, obedience, and a willingness to work hard.

🚀 How Youth Can Apply It:
✔️ Take responsibility for their own faith journey.
✔️ Step up in church, school, or home without being asked.
✔️ Face challenges with confidence and trust in the Lord.

2. Lead with Strategy – Captain Moroni’s Battle Tactics

📖 “If all men had been, and were, and ever would be, like unto Moroni, behold, the very powers of hell would have been shaken forever.” – Alma 48:17

Captain Moroni was more than a warrior—he was a strategic thinker, a problem solver, and a spiritual leader.

🚀 How Youth Can Apply It:
✔️ Learn to plan and set goals instead of reacting to problems.
✔️ Develop skills in leadership, teamwork, and resilience.
✔️ Stand firm in their beliefs, even when others oppose them.

3. Lead with Humility – The Stripling Warriors’ Faith

📖 “We do not doubt our mothers knew it.” – Alma 56:48

The Stripling Warriors weren’t arrogant or overconfident. They relied on faith, teamwork, and obedience to succeed.

🚀 How Youth Can Apply It:
✔️ Rely on the Lord instead of trying to do everything alone.
✔️ Work well with others, listening instead of demanding.
✔️ Develop humility as a strength, not a weakness.

4. Lead by Serving – Ammon’s Selfless Mission

📖 “When they saw that his arms were made strong, they were astonished.” – Alma 17:39

Ammon didn’t lead with power or position—he led through service, courage, and dedication.

🚀 How Youth Can Apply It:
✔️ Serve others in their families, schools, and communities.
✔️ Find joy in helping others without expecting recognition.
✔️ Lead with love and influence, not control.
