Shaking things up… some reads that rocked…

• Here was a great post that challenged my leadership and motives… thought you’d enjoy the 5 questions asked:

 

People fail to lead when they act from the stance of a victim. People fail to lead when they act from a sense of helplessness. You have a victim attitude and are failing to lead if you recognise any of the following symptoms:

  1. You take no action until you have satisfied that you have complete information. That you understand all the steps and risks involved. This means you fail to act and nothing happens.
  2. You wait for authority and permission to act from those higher up on the organisational ladder.
  3. You expect senior management to provide you with all the answers and the solution to your problems.
  4. You place safety ahead of your vision.
  5. You avoid conflict by not raising issues and concerns which need to be address for any real change to occur

 

• Shane’s post speaks so perfectly to how a seasoned veteran is a a major asset to any team… and challenges me as a young leader in so many ways!
• John Piper has a burden for words… i completely LOVE his heart and share in these convictions…
• Great blog on OBEYING GOD… by Mark Driscoll
• And now that i’ve read T-Mo and Pudge both have checked out their strengths… i think i might try too!

What Blogs should i be reading that i’m not??? 

Who’s keeping it fresh… consistently challenging you???
