fell focus leadership listening love major teams three topic work
I fell in love with the topic of leadership. For three decades, that has been a major focus of my hands-on work: listening to and working with leaders, their teams and their organizations.
driving happens leaders leadership move
What happens with a lot of leaders is that their leadership style is like ADD; they are all over the place with different ideas. They could be driving one idea forward but then move on to something else too soon.
essence leadership ownership whatever
In a very real way, ownership is the essence of leadership. When you are 'ridiculously in charge,' then you own whatever happens in a company, school, et cetera.
people leader growth
The business of church is ultimately people. You're trying to heal people, grow people, teach people, and mend people. And when leaders spend all of their time helping and growing other people, they ignore their own growth.
real responsibility leader
A leader's responsibility is to cause a vision and mission to have tangible results in the real world.
leader church visionaries

Authority's a good thing, and if it's not forced upon you as a leader, then I suggest, strongly, that you go buy some.

When leaders lead in ways that people's brains can follow, good results follow as well.

Some people's developmental path has not equipped them to stand up and let go of something.
assess deadline executive functions
Part of executive functions is the ability to look to a goal deadline and assess where an organization is in meeting it.
human life order performance relationships
Every human being must have boundaries in order to have successful relationships or a successful performance in life.
god people ultimately
I think that God will provide opportunities and people and experiences, and everything we need to date and ultimately to find the one.
both continuing dictates either personal reality season stand time
In both our personal and professional lives, there are times when reality dictates that we must stand up and 'end' something. Either its time has passed, its season is over, or worse, continuing it would be destructive in some way.
power
The power of being in the physical presence of another person delivers real benefits.
