Leadership Tips

Written by stacy

“I, the Messiah, have come to search for and to save such souls as his???
(Luke 19:10)

Jesus knew why He was here on earth. He stated His purpose very clearly.

Whether you are businesswoman, full-time employee, a stay-at-home mom or an empty- nester, you are a leader.

When I consider all the years the Lord has given me to influence people, I believe successful leadership can be boiled down into a few points.

1.? Have a clear dream or passion.

What has God given you to do? Write it down. Keep it simple. Begin to act on it.

2.? Know what your strengths are.

If you don’t know yourself, ask people, who know you well, what they think your strengths are. Or, have an analysis done on yourself. You should be able find some on the Internet.

Surround yourself with a team who have strengths that you do not have. Form a complementary team.

3.? Set measurable goals.

So often I have seen leaders fail because they had great dreams, but they never went beyond the dream stage. Set measurable monthly, quarterly and annual goals. Then enter them into your schedule.

4.? Work hard.

The key to being successful is working hard. Work hard to reach your goals. Be a non-quitter. Also, continue to be a learner. If you stop learning, you will stop growing. You won’t grow or be successful in your comfort zone.

5.? Be ready for resistance.

You will have problems and resistance. A leader is a problem-solver. Facing problems and dealing with them by making decisions is the difference between a leader and a follower.

6.? Celebrate accomplishments.

When you and your team meet some of your measurable goals, take time to celebrate your successes. Give them verbal credit for their valuable contribution and a small token of appreciation.

~Father, when I study the life Jesus, the greatest leader of all, I am amazed at His words, “I tell you, anyone believing in me shall do the same miracles I have done and even greater ones.??? Give us the faith to believe and the tenacity and strength to do what You created us to do. ? Amen.
