Balance

I have been reflecting on many aspects of leadership lately, especially since I have recently completed an Independent Study course on leadership. I hope to share many of these findings with you in future posts.Here is one aspect: how do you keep your balance in exercising leadership? How do you not go too far and become a dictator? Or how do you not go too far and become a weak, squeaky mouse?I believe that balance in one area of our lives helps with balance in other areas. Once we become…See More

Posted on May 7, 2010 at 1:19pm 2 Comments

I have often wondered about the situations and people and seasons that

seem to threaten or hamper leadership from being exercised. Good

leaders and organizations can "go with the flow" and welcome obstacles

as part of a transformation process (as part of the learning).

However, what happens when a leader's spirit is challenged or brought

low by grief?



Now, there are several things that we can say about grief--things we've

all heard before and even… Continue

One of our former elders and current church school leaders, Penni Romero of Faith Christian in Omaha, NE, offers this timely and insightful response to my blog post about "Leadership in the Now" a couple of weeks ago. Her reflections are an excellent admonition for us to be prepared (thank you, Boy Scouts of America) and to have our "lamps trimmed" (thank you Matthew 25:1-13):
