"True leadership profits come from focusing on people, integrity, and purpose—the things that carry eternal significance."
WOW...could've just started and stopped with that sentence! I'm ready to go lead in a whole new way after reading that.
Such a good word this morning packed with wisdom. I'm going to focus on just this little piece of it because of the impact it had when I read it. The above quote is so true...if leaders pour into those around them with a clear understanding of WHY combined with integrity and purpose your leadership "gains" become astronomical because you've created a ripple in those that you are leading that they too will grasp onto and create more ripples with those around them. Thus the cycle of the never ending ripple begins. And when a true and good leader takes the approach of the above quote, those impacted tend to follow with a purpose, follow with integrity, and follow while focusing on people.
In your sermon this past Sunday, you had me thinking.... when you said that there are only 2 things that will last forever....
#1) the Word of God
#2) People
I guess that's why Father God made us to be relational, right?
I was pondering on how Jesus must have felt after mingling and ministering to the multitudes, the sick & needy who need a doctor.... the very reason He came, suffered, and died, those He loved with His life's blood.
In your first book, "Half the Battle" you emphasize serving.
If that was a "gain" for Jesus, it needs to be a focus for all His followers, as a "gain."
Along with that responsibility, comes being mindful of the self-care needed to function at our highest capacity that is equal to our callings. That's the catch, right there, is it not?
Time with Abba Father, time with people that have the capability to help us feel safe to share and pour into us encouragement, comfort, love, etc.
Just a few thoughts this week from the Sunday sermon, plus this article.
