When leaders learn and grow, everyone wins!!
The Leadership Slump …
every leaders experiences it at some point. It causes us to doubt ourselves and our calling.
LEADERSHIP FUNDAMENTALS
1. LEADERS MOVE PEOPLE FROM HERE TO THERE!
*We are here – current reality … but if we work hard we will move here.
*You have to paint the picture for people to see so they can take steps to get there
*Expect others to say, we like it here, we are staying here. Why mess with something thats not broken?
*The first play is not to make THERE sound wonderful, the first play is to make HERE sound horrible.
*Build the case of why we cant stay HERE.
*People are ready for the THERE Speech because they have heard all the speeches saying why they cant stay here! Staying here Breaks the HEART OF GOD!
*If you are a leader your job is to figure out where God is moving and get others to move there also!
2. IT GONNA TAKE FANTASTIC PEOPLE
*One of the greatest jobs and roles of leadership is establishing teams that move in the direction that God is calling us.
*The 3 C’s of recruiting staff now the 4 C’s
Character
Competence
Chemistry – do they get along with everyone
Culture – What kind of person connects with the culture of our team. Will they fit into our culture
Sacrifice
*A fundamental of leadership is to attract people who will flourish in your leadership culture.
Reactions to team members resigning
* Relief
* Oh No
* Read it, read it again, and then realize that you might be losing someone that is irreplaceable.
*Do you view this as a privilege or a hindrance to your movement of the organization?
3. MILE MARKERS and CELEBRATIONS
*When you are on the journey make sure to refill the vision bucket so you continue to move forward
*Celebrate every mile marker on the way. Make sure you put them in to rejuvenate the team!
*What keeps people on the journey is the sense of hope that they will get there someday!
*Point out that you are no longer HERE you are halfway THERE!
*The power of inspiration – 40% differential in the productivity of an inspired volunteer and an un inspirited volunteer!
*When was the last time you through a party to celebrate the progress you have made thus far. Doing this keeps people on the journey.
4. WHISPERS FROM GOD
*JOHN 10:27 – My sheep hear my voice and they listen
*You want to hear God, you have to read the Bible!!!!! Read it!
*Do you listen to Gods promoting? It’s the feeling that allows you to see the unseen!
*Do you believe that God still speaks today?
*What is God whispering to me? Am I listening? What will I do? What will we do?
*REALITY: Sometimes God speaks and we don’t hear Him because the other noise is so loud in our lives.
*Will you do everything in your power to hear from the Lord?
*If leaders world wide, would listen to the Whispers of God, it would radically change the coarse of history.
