3 Principles That Define Leadership
2007-02-13 15:00:00 Principle #1 Lead ership is influence. Whatever else leadership is, it starts with influence. True leadership is not ultimately a matter of power, position or pressure, it is a matter of influence. Originally, “influence” conveyed the idea of something flowing from one body to another in a way that affected the outcome of the second. A leader realizeshis life must flow into the lives of others so that the outcome might be different. As Warren Blank has said, “All leadership is influence.” True, for without influence one does not lead (for more on Leader ship As Influence, see The 9 Natural Laws of Leadership). Principle #2 Leadership determines outcome. Everything rises or falls on leadership. A good definition of leadership places the success or failure of any endeavor squarely in the hands of a leader. This means that leaders welcome the responsibility that comes with leading. They realize that while they cannot accomplish anything on their own, their leaders... More About: Articles , Ship

Becoming A Successful Mentor
2007-02-12 18:51:00 Recently something happened to me that I may never forget. I was helping run a junior tennis evaluation with about twenty to twenty-five children. When the evaluation was finished I began to say goodbye to the kids and the parents. As the courts were clearing an elderly gentleman approached the court we were on with a basket of tennis balls and two rackets in hand. I quickly recognized him. He was my high school football coach. This man was not just any ordinary football coach. He coached at our school for over twenty years, is one of the winningest high school football coaches in the state of Florida, and the stadium where the team plays is named after him. He is quite a legend. Since I had not seen him for a few years I wanted to say hello. As we chatted for a few minutes, he told me he was waiting for his playing partner to arrive and if I wanted to hit a few balls with him he would appreciate it. He needed to work on his serve, so I took my position on the court and began to ret... More About: Articles , Mentor , Ming
The Leader?s Work Ethic
2007-02-12 15:00:00 Leaders work. A consistent work ethic is part of a consistent character ethic. Leaders work by an ethic that sets the standard for both followers and other leaders. They understand that work is more than just time on the clock; it is the key function of leaders. Like it or not, next to character, one?s work ethic is the primary way one is judged. Leaders work and they work hard. They work out of an e.t.h.i.c that can be summarized in five clear actions. E.NGAGE YOUR WORK When a leader works, they work ? they don?t daydream, think about evening plans or wonder about things at home. Like a laser, a leader must engage the work in front of them. You?ve no doubt heard the story about the guy who thought about home when he was at work and thought about work when he was at home. He couldn?t get anything done because he spent all his time traveling. Leaders stay on the task; they engage their work. What is the one action you could take that would allow you to more effectively engag... More About: Articles , Work , Leadership , Lead , Leader

I had just spent months devising a plan that I believed would revolutionize our church’s middle school ministry. “Why?” I asked. “Middle school students don’t have the maturity or the attention span to be leaders” was the reply. Today, I’m glad I didn’t take that advice and abandon our plans for a middle school leadership program. It truly has been revolutionary in our middle school ministry. The program has given our middle school students a new sense of ownership in ministry, fostered in them a new ministry mindset, and prepared them to go further and deeper in their walk with God now and when they hit high school. I remember my first youth group meeting as the new middle school/junior high pastor at Gold... More About: Articles , Middle , Ship 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 |
