Becoming a Leader: Defining Fun
http://growingasaleader.blogspot.com/2010/05/defining-fun.html
Tuesday, May 18, 2010. I abuse the word “Fun”. I use it entirely too often when describing the type of environment I want to offer kids. I use it too often when preparing volunteers to work with kids. In fact, it seems to be the most dominant term I use. It isn’t intentional. It just seems to be a word we can all connect with. I’m a fan of words. I’m weird that way. There are other descriptive terms I like to use…. The word “fun” doesn’t seem like a word I need to define… or do I? I’ve set the stan...

Becoming a Leader: March 2010
http://growingasaleader.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html
Wednesday, March 31, 2010. I Used to Know it ALL. I knew everything there was to know about marriage…I was the expert, had philosophies and ideas that I knew would make marriage unbelievable. THEN I got married and discovered that it took more than philosophy to make marriage successful…it took work and change and adjustments and a willingness to unlearn everything I thought I knew! I will NEVER have church leadership figured out! The more I am around amazing leaders the more I realize I have so much to ...

Becoming a Leader: July 2009
http://growingasaleader.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html
Thursday, July 30, 2009. The Necessity of Development. As defined in Webster's 1828 dictionary, development is "an unfolding; the discovering of something secret or withheld from the knowledge of others; disclosure; full exhibition.". What you and I have in us is great, but it is not going to do any good if we do not take it and give it some form and shape that is going to help us and everybody else. What lies between potential development and manifestation? Nobody can be determined for us. We must b...

Becoming a Leader: April 2010
http://growingasaleader.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
Wednesday, April 21, 2010. 10 Things Jesus Did Not Say. Jesus made it pretty clear in John 13:34-35. As to how the world would know we are His disciples…notice He did NOT say, “They will know you are my disciples…. 1 – By the way you forward really stupid, ridiculous emails to one another…and if you refuse to forward them to everyone you have in your contact list then you don’t love me. 2 – By the way you yell at people who don’t know me for living as if they don’t know me. Nope… John 13:34-35. The story...

Becoming a Leader: February 2010
http://growingasaleader.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
Tuesday, February 23, 2010. Bible talks about leadership and delegation. We often misunderstand what delegation really is. I have been a huge fan of Michael Hyatt. The CEO of Thomas Nelson Publishers. Ever since I first found out about him. Michael is one of those guys who has a way of thinking that is contagious, inspiring, and just down right good. Today Michael posted on his blog site: “What the Bible says about Leadership and Delegation. Here’s a quick glimpse of Michael’s blog post -. He exhorted Mo...

Becoming a Leader: August 2009
http://growingasaleader.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html
Monday, August 31, 2009. God is Good- All the Time. Every good gift and every perfect (free, large, full) gift is from above; it comes down from the Father of all (that gives) light, in (the shining of) Whom there can be no variation (rising or setting) or shadow cast by His turning (as in an eclipse)." James 1:17. What is James saying in this verse? He is saying that God is good, period. He is not good sometimes; He is always good. He is not good plus something else; He is just good. That is a mouthful&...

Becoming a Leader: Time to Really Become S.M.A.R.T.
http://growingasaleader.blogspot.com/2010/05/time-to-really-become-smart.html
Tuesday, May 11, 2010. Time to Really Become S.M.A.R.T. I have been reading some stuff from Ken Blanchard. Ken Blanchard is one who does that for me in leadership type issues. Ken Blanchard writes how good goals are smart goals. He goes on and talks about how many leaders do not take the time to clearly develop goals with their people and write them down. As a result people get caught up in the activity trap where they become too busy doing things, but not necessarily the right things. How are you using ...
