Here is a new 5 for Leadership for the first weekend in March. There are posts on the value of black millennials, how to mobilize millennial leaders, finding your great contribution, the value of rest, and some principles of leadership from the life of Leonard Nimoy. Take a few minutes and ponder one or more of the posts listed this week.
Mobilize Millennial Leaders “It can be common to hear people complain about the younger generation. But you’ll have to look pretty hard to find a tool that is so challenging to both millennials and leaders of any age as Activate Leadership by Jon Mertz.” There are some very practical principles here in the form of a book review.
How To Find Your Great Contribution “Every act of service enhances your worth. As time passes, if you’re fortunate, you’ll make meaningful contributions to growing numbers of individuals, organizations, and communities. The more competent you become the more opportunities you have to serve.” Dan Rockwell provides a great perspective in the post on servant leadership.
The Leadership Legacy of a Childhood Hero Leonard Nimoy ,the well known actor from the Star Trek series and movies, died this past week. Tanveer Naseer gives us three principles from the life of Nimoy based on his observations on this interesting life.
When Rest is the Only Solution “In the ministry world, there’s always more to do. When your vocation is spurring spiritual development in people and training new leaders to do the same, there is no natural time to stop. Someone is always suffering, or seeking, or ready to try on “full surrender” for size. Because of the incessant, inescapable nature of our work, it’s easy for us to start believing we’re indispensable to it all.” This comes from Leadership Journal and is worth the read.
Why Black Millennials Will Lead Us To A More Equitable Society Christena Cleveland writes a stirring piece that lays out three reasons why the title of this post might come true. Read and see what you think. Add to the discussion.
There are the 5 for this week. I hope you are inspired to lead more diligently by what you read.
