In Bible days, there was no e-mail, fax, blogs, or phones...yet I wonder if their communication was more effective. Some days I think all the high-tech forms of communication has caused us to become lazy and INeffective. Bible days forms of communication: word of mouth and written parchment. The intriguing thought about these two forms of communication was that not everyone had the ability to

 - Admit one's weaknesses  - Ask for help  - Admit failures  - Deflect praise  - Take the bullet  - Be among your team HumilityHumbleness allows truly good and effective leaders to lead among their team, to be "real" to those whom they lead. To me, this is the most endearing and effective quality of a leader. I can remember several times sitting in church listening to the pastor preach and

Would you consider compassion a trait of a good leader? Most in the business world don't either.  It wasn't until about a generation ago that those in business leadership development began to move away from "Theory X" which says that: People are naturally lazy and need the threat of punishment to make them work and Kindness to employees will too often be interpreted as an invitation to slack off

This word has come across my path fairly frequently lately...and again while reading "Leadership Secrets from the Bible" by Lorin Woolfe. BHAG - Big Hairy Audacious Goals as coined by Jim Collins in the 90s Audacity - was in a sermon recently Audacious desire to be Jesus to others What does it really mean and how does it relate to leaders? I find it helpful to first start with the definition:

I would say - absolutely! Actually, purpose is a more important trait for leaders than followers. Paul reminds us in Acts 10:22 "I consider my life worth nothing to me...if only I may finish the race and complete the task." He had purpose and was clear on it. I believe EACH of us has a purpose and as leaders, we have the opportunity to lead others in helping to fulfill not only our purpose or

A "Google" search will give you lists upon lists of leadership traits or qualities, but what do you believe is the top trait? According to James Kouzes and Barry Posner authors of "The Leadership Challenge" after surveying several thousand people around the world the trait most frequently noted was simple... Honesty I would tend to agree with them and the other several thousand folks surveyed. I

I was listening to an interview of Henry Blackaby talking about faith in the workplace, but the comment he made that really hit home was that He (God) is more concerned with character over success.  If God gives us success when there is still character to be developed or opportunity for our faith-walk to be deepened, God chooses the relationship and character over success. In His eyes, that

Each of these three steps is required and required to be executed in this exact order. You see, if you make decisions without planning, you may get trapped in an ambush. If you move boldly without the planning, you may jump unexpectedly into enemy territory. Making decisions quickly has been a challenge for me at times, because I spend too much time in the “plan carefully” step, and

Strategic. Planning. Planning – putting thought into the next step, next day, next year, next expansion. Strategic – is most often associated with the military. Generals plot and study maps, cultures, people, plans of attack, and every other detail available to find the best strategy to surprise, and therefore, overthrow their enemies. Leadership should be strategic as well. As a leader,

Has God blessed you with a talent or skill that seems to be a "no-brainer?" This talent or skill just comes so naturally that you thought everyone had "it?" Maybe it's sales? Perhaps leading. Are you a natural presenter? Does your mind easily tackle technical problems? Do you have the ability to look at a situation and quickly ascertain the solution? Regardless of what your natural God-given

What I discovered or re-discovered was that I need to re-define what a vacation is to me. One of the benefits of being a business owner is that you get to make your own schedule, right? So, my goal for the rest of this year is to be a better leader of myself and my schedule. I am going to plan for intentional rest and vacation, even if it is only taking half a day off. Maybe it’s a long

Vacation and rest in general have become a bit of a foreign concept to me in my years as a business owner and far more absent over the past 3 months as I have been consumed with a project. On some occasional Saturdays, I find myself still in bed way past 7 AM.  I know I am laying there avoiding the responsibility of getting up and getting to the required tasks at hand: cutting the grass,

I pulled out a book I had read years ago entitled "Fail Safe Leadership" by Linda Martin & Dr. David Mutchler.  They offer an extensive list of questions to determine if the leadership in your company might be failing. Here are my top 7 from the list (because I see these so often.) Ask yourself these questions...Does your company have: 1. Excessive meetings 2. Micro-management 3. Duplication of

Faith: we see defined in scripture as "the confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see." (Hebrews 11:1) Risk: possibility of loss or injury; someone or something that creates or suggests a hazard; A factor, thing, element, or course involving uncertain danger Both RISK and FAITH allude to future and uncertainty, but RISK has an overtone of danger and risk while FAITH

With all this said, we get down to the crux of the matter…how do you Lead Passionately? By first discovering what YOU are passionate about. What is YOUR big dream? For years, I had a quote taped to the inside of my Daytimer [in case you’re too young to remember what that is, it is a paper version of your PDA] that read “find what you love to do so much that you’d do it for free…then figure

As a leadership and life coach, one of my favorite clients to coach is the one who is trying to discover their passion. They’ve gotten “stuck” and want more from life. A great little Sunday afternoon read is called “The Dream Giver” by Bruce Wilkinson. It is the parable of “Ordinary” who lives in the “Land of Familiar” and one day, he takes the adventure of his lifetime to discover and

Over the past couple of weeks, we've delved a bit deeper into how to become a more effective Strategic Thinker: 1. Know your Mission/Vision 2. Determine your "RQ" - Risk Quotent 3. Evaluate whether you are looking to change structure, process, or market 4. Ask the right questions 5. Communicate change to the rest of your team/company 6.

Today is "Holy Thursday," "Maundy Thursday," the night that Jesus shared the Passover meal with his disciples in the upper room. Are you familiar with the significance of this meal? The original Passover meal happened when God delivered the Hebrews out of Egypt. You can find the account in Exodus chapter 12 verses 1-13.

Ideas, as they say, "are a dime a dozen," Douglas Horton. But, the REAL key to all these good ideas is implementing them. Without implementation these great ideas are just that - ideas. The only thing that can validate these perceived "good ideas" is the outcome and proof. This is true with strategic thinking decisions as well.

We've been talking about Strategic Thinking and looking at some ideas to increase your strategic thinking abilities. Oftentimes, this type of thinking is not a common practice, but fear not - it can easily be implemented and incorporated into your daily thinking and into your company.

The key to Strategic Thinking is to ask questions...but they must be the RIGHT questions. Here are a few to help get you on the right path... As a general rule of thumb, good Strategic Thinkers keep these two points at the forefront: Identify issues that are critical to the long-term success   Ask questions whose answers will help to anticipate the future needs of their clients and programs

It is six times more expensive and difficult to get a new customer than to keep a current customer happy. Once you get a new customer, it’s likely that it will take 18—24 months for you to break even on the cost of getting them. Do the math.

When you boil all the strategic thinking down, strategic thinking focuses attention and effort on one of three areas of change, yes, there's that "four-letter word" - change. But, we should not view change as a four-letter word, nor should we change something simply for change, but change for improvement: Are you changing the structure of your company? Are you changing a process? Are you changing

Risk. A word often spoken of, but how much do we understand it and how does it play into your life, your business, your ability to think strategically about the future of your business? Webster defines RISK as 1: possibility of loss or injury 2: someone or something that creates or suggests a hazard 3a : the chance of loss Therefore, when risk is involved with business opportunities and

Some people incorrectly interchange these two ideas in today's workplace. While they are both important to the success of a company, there is a difference.  As a leader and as a strategic thinker, it is your responsibility to know, develop, implement, and often cast both of these to your company. You need to live them out. We'll begin with Vision as it needs to be the foundation. Simply put,

There are many different types of thinkers and thinking, but I want to focus on four that are often seen in businesses.   Analytical - Most often portrayed by the "Absent-Minded Professor." These thinkers are great with numbers and love to analyze data. They look for patterns and logic in everything and can easily find the commonality in data.

Recently I was faced with this realization in a big way and was forced to come to grips with the fall-out of such failure. Reality is, everyone will fail, and fail more than once.  All leaders, no doubt, face failure or perception of failure by most of the public as a daily occurrence. “There are no secrets to success. It is the result of preparation, hard work, and learning from failure,”

Recently, I took some time to work ON my business - at the suggestion of my Business Coach. (Thanks Ken!)  Strategic Thinking (not planning, but thinking)...so, I did a bit of research to be fully prepared for my assignment. What I found out was alarming, sad and yet encouraging.  I read a Harvard Business Review which I will quote here: "Recent research by authors Carroll and Mui underscore

A story around the water cooler...it went something like this... Early one morning, before work, several co-workers were standing around the water cooler chatting and catching up with one another. Bob said to Caroline...say, did you see what the President (of the United States) posted on his Facebook wall last night?  He said he was coming to visit our small business this afternoon. How exciting

Is knowledge alone power?  Or would you agree that APPLIED knowledge is power? Do you believe you can improve any skill if you apply yourself? Golf? Tennis? Reading? Running? Biking? Bowling? I can go on, but you see where I'm going?  Yes, there are some individuals who God created with a natural talent, but I believe anyone can improve a skill or talent by applying themselves...INCLUDING

Today, S. Truett Cathy, founder and chief executive officer of Chick-fil-A, was inducted into Indiana Wesleyan University’s Society of World Changers.

With cell phones, laptops, instant messages [IM], LinkedIn, e-mails, webinars, and teleconferences, we are becoming a society who relies more heavily on technology than the personal contact. The “front porch” argument will not come into play this time. I maintain my soapbox stand that effective leadership IS effective because you, the leader, take the time to communicate with, work through

I was thinking about how the character of a corporation affects their business success. It seems the news is littered these days with "questionable" decisions made by those in leadership. Do you think the character of a corporation has any impact on their success or the public's perception of that company? According to the Josephson Institute who has put together a program, primarily used with

The million dollars of equipment? The beautiful office building? The "widget" you produce and sell? Your Board of Directors? Your faithful customers or clients? Your employees? What do you think? What's YOUR greatest asset?  Ken Blanchard may volley for your customer as you'll see in his "Raving Fans" book. Excellent read if you've not read yet. But I would agree with author, Jeff Peden in his

I wonder if that was the cry of James W Marshall on that interesting day in January 1848 when he accidentally hit an unusual rock while trying to build his sawmill.  Historical account from "The Virtual Museum form the city of San Francisco" states, Mr. Marshall noted “This is a curious rock, I am afraid that it will give us trouble,”  Was THAT ever an understatement! The historical account goes

I remember in college when I took an advertising class, we had a discussion about "Early Adopters" and "Late Majority." Why that one lecture over 20 years ago has stuck in my mind and continued to cross my mind and ultimately business growth and life is beyond me! But, what I am realizing is that I am neither. I'm an "Innovator." We studied the consumer adoption model (at least that's what I
