Prayer should never depend upon the place and the people. It should depend only on your belief.

“Make the most of yourself, for that is all that there is of you.”

“Ability is not enough to enable us to reach our potential. Opportunity alone will never get us to the top. Knowledge is a great asset, but comes up short helping us “be all that we can be.” Even putting together a good team is not sufficient. Passion is the difference-maker.”
A Leader’s Way by John C. Maxwell (via waybeyondbelief)

Just got home from a leadership training. And these are the things that I learned:
- To be a leader, you must be a servant first.
- Think of others.
- Know your goodness and let it shine.
- Develop your goodness.
- Multiply your goodness.
And as we went home, we are left with a question which I’m gonna ponder later.
WHAT ARE YOU TO OTHERS?

THIS IS WHAT ALL LEADERS SHOULD DO!
NOTICE: I said LEADERS! Not Dictators. BELIEVE ME, if you can be classified as a dictator, you are doing your job just “fine” already.
I said leaders for a reason. Managers are specifically bad at doing what is explained in the video BUT being a manager isn’t bad at all. Most people who call themselves leaders are actually managers and vise-versa. but they are definitely different. Like we learned:
“Management is about coping with complexity… Good management brings a degree of order and consistency to key dimensions like the quality and profitability of products…”
“Leadership, by contrast, is about coping with change… Major changes are more and more necessary to survive and compete effectively in its new enviroment. More changes always demands more leadership…”
There is nothing wrong with being either a great leader or a great manager. Both attributes are great to have. In fact, it’s actually more desired to have a bit of both attributes but the harsh truth is most of us focus in on one or the other.
That isn’t a bad thing, it’s common. Realizing which one you are is half of the battle though. Realize which one you are and find a counter-part. Together, both of you grow.
Just something else i learned at RUCK…
