Day 1 of my annual-can't-miss Leadership event was exceptional as usual. Bill Hybels opened the day and Steven Furtick closed it out. Both of these men have influenced my life Bill for the past number of years and Steven more recently. Incredibly blessed to have opportunities like this. Following are some of my notes:
Bill Hybels: Have you had your leadership bell rung lately?
- When leaders stop learning they should just stop leading.
- When a leader gets better everyone wins.
- Our success is directly tied to our ability to attract and retain fantastic people.
- Are you naming and facing problems that exist in your organization? Courageously address the issues!
- How long do you tolerate:
- Bad attitudes (Willow Creek gives it 30 days)
- Under performer (Willow Creek gives this 3 months)
- Great people in our organizations are discouraged by challenging people
- Leaders must understand that their role is to move the organization from here to there.
- Challenged to make the next 5 years my best years.
Les Schlesinger: Action trumps everything
Vision casting must follow creating discontent with what is.
Believe in the future by creating it first.
Failure doesn't mean game over, it simply means step forward with what you have.
Make reality your friend.
Bring other people along. Be flexible with what you want and how to get it.
Dr. Brenda Salter-McNeil:
Sometimes it takes a catalytic event to take us from where we are to where we need to be.
Steven Furtick: Audacious Faith
2 Kings 3:9-20 - Dig some ditches! You can position yourself for success but only God can provide the rain! Let it rain!!
Life can beat the audacity right out of you.
We struggle with insecurity because we compare our "behind the scenes" with others highlight reels.
Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. (Hebrews 11:1 ESV)
