Leadership Minute: Essentials

Posted July 17, 2013

John Wooden said, “Talent is God given. Be humble. Fame is man-given. Be grateful. Conceit is self-given. Be careful.” Along with the aspirations of leadership comes great responsibility. The essentials that Wooden advocates here are humility and gratitude. And this is the reminder in leadership we all need. Many get caught up in the trappings of power and notoriety that accompanies leadership. Simply put, leadership in its purest form is not about you. It’s about serving others. Everything in between are God-given gifts and opportunities to make a difference. In leadership, don’t forget the essentials. They will keep you grounded.

Leadership Minute: A Little More Patience

Posted July 15, 2013

Elbert Hubbard said, “How many a man has thrown up his hands at a time when a little more effort, a little more patience would have achieved success.” I don’t know about you but patience or the lack thereof at times is one area where I struggle. How about you? But the words and wisdom of Elbert Hubbard ring just as true today as when he penned them. As leaders we need a bit more patience and effort to see our goals and dreams come to realization. Although it can be challenging, work on this skill set and you will be the better for it. Just a little more patience can make all the difference you need to succeed.

Lead By Faith: Order Your Priorities

Posted July 14, 2013

But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. – Jesus, Matthew 6:33

As leaders it is important to have priorities that guide you in your daily activities. After all, taking care of life and all of its demands can be challenging. Just as priorities are necessary to be an effective leader in your office, so too, are priorities of the heart.

Jesus reminded us that when we place Him first in our lives everything else of importance to us would fall under His care. When we place every piece of our lives into His hands then we can lead with confidence that He is directing our steps in the right place. You can lead with total confidence when you place total trust in the One who walks before you.

Lead By Faith will be a new feature each Sunday.

Leadership Minute: Keep the Faith!

Posted April 19, 2013

Helen Keller said, “Faith is the strength by which a shattered world shall emerge into the light.” It’s been a tough week with the events in Boston and in Texas. But it’s in times like these that we need to be reminded to keep the faith. It’s easy to focus on all that is bad and become discouraged by what we see. But on this day, let us focus on our faith, in the eternal goodness and Sovereignty of God, and be the beacons of light that the world needs. Our world is fragile and for many has been shattered. Today you can be the light and strength that can make a difference. Keep the faith and shine on!

Leadership Minute: Keep Going!

Winston Churchill said, “If you’re going through hell, keep going.” In a matter of moments yesterday triumph turned into tragedy in Boston. It was hell. But in the midst of the terror as it unfolded we saw tremendous acts of bravery, courage, and patriotism as first- responders and everyday citizens alike rushed toward the scene to give aid and comfort to the victims.

It is hard to wrap our minds around senseless acts of evil as we saw yesterday. But today is not a day to focus on the evil but to highlight the good. Today we pray for the families of the victims and pray for the recovery of those injured. Even though we may be going through hell we keep walking. We keep praying. We will not be overcome by evil; we will overcome it with good.
