Leadership Thoughts I've Been Thinking in August
Here are a few of the leadership thoughts I’ve tweeted throughout August. If you would like to follow me on Twitter you can find me at www.twitter.com/maclake
- Leadership competencies determine what we can do; character determines the spirit in which we do it.
- When you lead with character you win the confidence of the people you lead
- The leader who refuses to acknowledge they're running on empty puts the entire organization at risk.#refresh
- Good senior leaders focus on raising up more leaders; great senior leaders focus on raising up more leader developers
- Leaders are readers. If you're not developing your team to be readers then you’re probably not developing them as leaders
- The most effective way to get rid of fear is to take a step forward in faith
- Information without application doesn’t produce transformation #leadershipdevelopment
- A big part of the leadership development problem in US church today is we invite people into leadership but not into a relationship.
- The reason we don’t see a multiplication of leaders is because we don’t have a reproducible system for developing leaders
- Insecure leaders insist that people follow, secure leaders inspire people to follow #leadership
- Young leaders, don't label your weaknesses to early in life. What you view as a weakness may be an undeveloped, undiscovered strength
- There's a difference between acknowledgment & encouragement. Acknowledgment says "good job". Encouragement is specific about what made it good
- Small, daily steps of growth take you a long way over time. #personalgrowth
- The right opportunity + your giftedness = fruitfulness & fulfillment
- The greatest joy for a mentor isn't delivering a truth but watching their student discover a truth for themselves
