Leadership is first a heart issue before it’s a skill issue. You can’t lead with integrity, influence and effectiveness if you are spiritually bankrupt and emotionally broken. Too often we focus on performance when we need to look at maturity issues. Leadership development too often looks at performance mechanics while giving token attention to internal challenges that determine longevity, success and significance.

Instead of sending the hungry crowds away, Jesus said, “Whats for lunch?” The managers said, “Only a few loaves and fishes.” Too many leaders act like ‘”non-swimmers.” The more they thrash about fighting the water, the quicker they drown. Creativity is the ability to understand your present reality and use it to your advantage. Stop draining your energy by focusing on the problems. You will be depressed and your team de-energized.

Mistakes – we all make them. I learned more from my mistakes and failures than my successes. The keyword is learned. If we learn and move on, chances are we won’t repeat them.
The Bible says, “A just man falls seven times but he rises again.” Proverbs 24:16. One difference between winners and losers is winners keep getting up. Ifycu fall, it means you had to be somewhere to fall from. People who never by, are fearful of risks or what others think, never have to worry about falling – or succeeding either. Mstakes are never final unless you refuse to learn, get up or by again.

Are you solving problems or creating the future? There are two basic kinds of leaders; those who solve daily management problems and those who provide strategic leadership. Both are vital for success. It always works best if the senior leader has strategic planning skills. If not, most likely the organization will get bogged down in management challenges, lose forward momentum and stop pursuing the vision. Soon active inertia sets in.
Leadership Development That’s Accountable
by Dr. David Robinson
Developing leaders and a process that creates an accountability culture is not an option but apriority. Jesus thought so when he chose to pour most of his lime and effort into the lives of twelve men whle the crowds constantly begged for more.
