Leadership 101




Follows are some study notes from Andy Stanley, the son of Charles Stanley from the book of Joshua on leadership.

*The less you do, the more you enable others to accomplish.
* Focus on doing only what you can do. Don't be a hindrance to others by doing it all so it can be done right. (or so you think)
*Develop leaders around you. Don't hold people back by keeping yourself in the spot light.
*Helping another to succeed is what Christ had in mind for us when he told us to love others as ourselves.
*Remember Romans 12:6-8 tells us that we all have different gifts. My gifts are no better than yours or any less valuable than yours.

  2. Outstanding nuggets to pull out and apply! I have definitely seen people who must do it all themselves and think they are the only one who can do it 'right'. Oh, LOL, what am I saying?!!!!

    Ok, so, regrouping, I do this in a school/group setting (used to--it's been years you know--maybe I would do better now). But in other areas, I delegate (prime example: children's musical--I do nothing with set, costumes, sound. . .). Maybe I've grown up a little?? :D

    Bet you didn't know I apply these nuggets to myself so completely, hmmm? Thanks for making me think and evaluate, and maybe I'll grow a little more. . .
