  • LL25: Faith in Your Leadership

    As a reminder, these leadership lessons are my own.  This is what I am learning about leadership, and they might even be amazingly simple and elementary but they are my lessons nonetheless. Leadership requires faith.  I’m not talking about faith in Jesus as Christians understand it.  I’m just talking about…

  • LL23: The Leader’s Responsibility

    [As I prepare to write this, I cannot help but think about how I’m not sure I am going to convince many of you about this.  In light of my last post, I find it ironic that I’m thinking things way, but we’ll see what happens.] A leader needs to…

  • LL20: What Prevents You from Leading

    If leadership was so easy, more people would do it.  Recently, a student asked me what I taught our leadership program.  He wanted to know what leadership principles I would teach.  I could definitely teach MY leadership lessons that I’ve shared in this blog, but I told him that I…

  • LL15: Lead Where You’re At

    Leadership is one of the hardest skills to develop – but waiting for an opportunity to lead makes it that much harder.  It’s hard enough when you’re leading, but WAITing to lead may seem like the easy thing.  It just makes becoming a leader harder and a longer process. I…

  • LL14: When the Followers Lead

    It is much easier to lead when the followers are leading.  I mean, if you were the king or a micro-managing maniac, you would want to be the only person in control – and you noticed that I said control and not command – for an explanation of that, please…
