Then the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, “Because you did not believe Me, to hallow Me in the eyes of the children of Israel, therefore you shall not bring this assembly into the land which I have given them.” ~Numbers 20:12We learn something invaluable about leadership at the expense of Moses in Numbers 20. By this point, Moses felt weary of the complaining, the stagnation, and the lack of progress among the people. He was running on empty. And in his weakened condition he made a decision that cost him his future. Read the rest of this entry »

Every promise of God proves true; he protects everyone who runs to him for help. ~ Proverbs 30:5 (The Message)Where does a leader’s vision come from? To find your vision, you must listen to:
The Inner Voice : Vision starts within. Do you know what your life’s mission is? If what you’re pursuing in life doesn’t come from the depths of who you are and what you believe, you will not be able to accomplish it. Read the rest of this entry »

Leadership - See beyond the ordinary
So it was, whenever Moses went out to the tabernacle, that all the people rose, and each man stood at his tent door and watched Moses until he had gone into the tabernacle. ~Exodus 33:8
Modeling provides the basis of all true leadership. Leaders must set the example for their followers. The number one management principle in the world is this: People do what people see. Read the rest of this entry »

An interesting article about changing perspective of live.. Convert It! By Chip Lutz
Right hook to the jaw! Uppercut to the chin! Sucker punch to the gut! Life can throw some vicious punches, can’t it? With gas prices, food prices, and the continual stream of negative news pummeling us every day, we can be left feeling breathless - trying to get up off the mat before the referee counts 10 and the negative influence is declared the victor. Like any prize fighter, what is needed is a strategy BEFORE getting into the ring. A strategy for being a “converter” - someone who knows how to convert life’s negative blows and deal with them in a positive manner. No matter what punches are thrown or what problems are faced, if you want to keep going and not throw in the towel, here are simple strategies for converting. Read the rest of this entry »

And Barak said to her, “If you will go with me, then I will go; but if you will not go with me, I will not go!” Judges 4:8
People follow men and women whose leadership they respect. The less-skilled follow the more highly skilled. In general, followers seek those who are better leaders than themselves. Read the rest of this entry »

“So he went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine; and he set him on his own animal, brought him to an inn, and took care of him. On the next day, when he departed, he took out two denarii, gave them to the innkeeper, and said to him, ‘Take care of him; and whatever more you spend, when I come again, I will repay you.’ ” ~Luke 10:34-35 Read the rest of this entry »

Of the original Fortune 500 companies listed in 1955, only 71 remain on the list today. Companies once deemed indestructible have fallen by the wayside. Corporate titans of enormous influence have completely disappeared in the span of a few decades. Staying power has been rare atop the Fortune 500. Instead, the list has undergone a steady turnover from year to year. Reaching the top is a monumental achievement, but remaining there may be the most spectacular feat of all.

Then it was, when the wall was built and I had hung the doors, when the gatekeepers, the singers, and the Levites had been appointed, that I gave the charge of Jerusalem to my brother Hanani, and Hananiah the leader of the citadel, for he was a faithful man and feared God more than many. ~Nehemiah 7:1-2 Read the rest of this entry »

The history of Henry Ford and the Model T illustrates a fundamental truth about leadership: leaders never outgrow the need to change. On his way to dominating the automotive market with the Model T, Henry Ford embodied innovation and progress. By pioneering the assembly line, Ford slashed the amount of time needed to manufacture an automobile. He installed large conveyor belts in his factory, allowing workers to stay in one place rather than roaming around the factory floor. He also shortened the workday of his employees from nine hours to eight hours so that his factories could operate around the clock. Read the rest of this entry »

Positive Thinking By Zig Ziglar
Just what can positive thinking do? To be candid, some people have given positive thinking a bad name. I can’t stand to hear some gung-ho individual say that with positive thinking you can just do “anything.” If you think about that one for a moment, you recognize the absurdity of it. As a ridiculous example, I’m a positive thinker, but I could never slam-dunk a basketball or perform major surgery - or even minor surgery - on anyone and expect that person to survive. Nate Newton, the 300-plus pound lineman for the Dallas Cowboys, is positive, optimistic and outgoing but he’d be a complete failure as a jockey or a ballet dancer. Read the rest of this entry »

I have finished the work which You have given Me to do. -John 17:4When Peter was a young fisherman in Galilee, no one would have thought he was destined to become the passionate leader of a world movement. After all, he had almost no education and probably would have been happy to live the remainder of his life in obscurity. But God had something else in mind, and when Peter met Jesus, his priorities began to change. Read the rest of this entry »

Here’s a look at leadership skills development by John C Maxwell on Invest to Empower
Barnabas took [Paul] and brought him to the apostles, And he declared to them how he had seen the Lord on the road, and that He had spoken to him, and how he had preached boldly at Damascus in the name of Jesus.
~Acts 9:27
Barnabas let no opportunity escape to add value to others, and his greatest single contribution in terms of empowerment can be seen in his interaction with Paul. Read the rest of this entry »

And Moses said: “By this you shall know that the Lord has sent me to do all these works, for I have not done them of my own will. If these men die naturally like all men, or if they are visited by the common fate of all men, then the Lord has not sent me. But if the Lord creates a new thing, and the earth opens its mouth and swallows them up with all that belongs to them, and they go down alive into the pit, then you will understand that these men have rejected the Lord.” ~ Numbers 16:28-30
The Scripture makes clear that God places people in authority, and it is dangerous to oppose God’s anointed. Korah had rebelled against both Moses and the Lord, thusillustrating the tragic flaw of many leaders-a desire for power and authority beyond what God has ordained.

If you think the way successful people think and adopt their success habits, you too can be successful. Here are seven qualities of the top 1% of successful people.
1) They are Ambitious.
They see themselves capable of being the best. They see themselves with the capacity of being really good at what they do. This was a really big thought for me. It held me back for many years. When I saw people who were doing better than I was, I naturally assumed they were better than I was. Read the rest of this entry »
