10 Reasons Why You’re Not A Leader
Paul Sohn just relaunched his blog with a new brand. This is an older post by Paul, but is very insightful. “Do you want to make a difference? Change the culture? Turn the world upside down? Make a dent in the universe? Well, let me tell you that you won’t achieve this without leadership.”
Take a look at Paul’s new site!
How To Know If You Can Trust Your Gut Instinct As a Leader
“You have a gut instinct about almost everything that comes across your radar. Before you even say anything out loud, often you have an intuitive sense of whether you should move ahead or not, whether you should jump in or step back, or whether someone is trustworthy or not. The question is, how do you know if you can trust your gut reaction as a leader?”
Carey Nieuwhof shares 5 helpful tips on knowing whether to trust your gut instinct of not.
Short Conversations on Privilege and Leadership
“Last month, I had the chance to sit down with Tod Bolsinger (Vice President for Formation and Vocation at Fuller Theological Seminary) to discuss the intersections between privilege and leadership.”
This is a series of 9 short videos capturing a conversation with Christena Cleveland. Pick out a few, or listen to all of them . . . you will be challenged and enlightened.
5 Signs Your Leadership Team Is In Trouble
“I once heard John Maxwell say that “team work makes the dream work.” However, as I survey the leadership landscape, I believe the reason a lot of dreams are not working is because a lot of teams are way more dysfunctional than dedicated.”
This is a very practical post from Perry Noble. He first posted this back in March . . . it is worth the read.
7 Ways To Raise Up Young Leaders
“I talk to pastors and leaders my age and older who want to see a new generation of leaders. They claim to love investing in younger leaders. They recognize the huge need in churches and organizations. Our future depends upon doing so.”
Ron Edmondson writes from experience. These 7 principles will greatly aid you in investing in the next generation.
There are the 5 for this week. I hope you take some time to reflect and consider how you can be a better leader.
