Here is a new 5 for this 3rd week in September. The summer heat is finally waning and the fall season is just around the corner. Take some time to strengthen your leadership. The topics cover Ben Carson’s success secret, the leadership language of pronouns, what mature leaders look like, differing kinds of feedback, and how to minister to women in crisis. There is something here for you.
7 Attributes of a Maturing Leader
“I frequently say to our church I’m less interested in where a person has been and more interested in where they are going. I would make that statement about leadership also.” This is Ron Edmondson with some very applicable principles for every leader to consider.
The Secret Language of Pronouns: How to Drive Ownership and Accountability
“The pronouns we use reveal a lot about our ownership, accountability, and relationships with others. And words like I, my, we, us, our, you, your, they, them, and their not only show where we think we stand, they also tell our listeners or readers where we think they stand.” This comes from Jesse Lahey on the Engaging Leader blog.
12 Flavors of Feedback
“There are many flavors of feedback. Here is a list of some of the most common types, with good and bad sample word tracks for each. They are ranked ordered from easier to harder.” This is a very practical post that can broaden your feedback skills from Dan McCarthy.
5 Ways To Minister To Women In Crisis
“Cancer strikes. A spouse is unfaithful. Abortion haunts. Sexual sin is exposed. A baby is stillborn. These tragic experiences are regular occurrences in our fallen world. Women we know are in these situations right now, and we must care for them in their trauma.
But how? I often feel at a loss for where to begin ministering to sisters in such situations. I don’t know enough Bible or have enough wisdom. The situation may be so far beyond anything I’ve experienced personally. I listen, trying to appear calm, but inside I’m panicking, fearing I’ll have nothing to offer this sister.” This is a timely post by Kristie Anyabwile–with some very practical advice.
The Secret To Ben Carson’s Success
“It’s been fascinating to watch Dr. Ben Carson’s recent rise in the polls. Whatever your political bent, he deserves attention. What’s his secret?” This comes by way of Michael Hyatt and may surprise you.
There are the 5 for this week. Take advantage of the wisdom and principles that are offered through these great thought leaders.
