Need a Lift? by Mark Evans


There is a good side and a bad side to most people, and in accordance with your own character and disposition you will bring out one of them and the other will remain a sealed book to you.

Good leadership is a channel of water controlled by God; He directs it to whatever ends he chooses. Proverbs 21:1

Today's Thought (from The 17 Indisputable Laws of Teamwork by John Maxwell)

With good leadership, everything improves. Leaders are lifters. They push the thinking of their teammates beyond old boundaries of creativity. They elevate others' performance, making them better than they've ever been before. They improve people's confidence in themselves and others. While managers are often able to maintain a team at its current level, leaders are able to lift it to a higher level than it has ever reached before. The key to that is working with people and bringing out the best in them. For example:
  • Leaders transfer ownership for work to those who execute the work.
  • Leaders create an environment where each team member wants to be responsible.
  • Leaders coach the development of personal capabilities.
  • Leaders learn quickly and encourage others to learn efficiently also.
If you want to give a team a life, then provide it with better leadership.
 
Father in Heaven; I know that leadership is not a position; it's the ability to bring out the best in people. Please help me today to be more aware of how I can give my team a lift. In Jesus name. Amen.

Enjoy the Ride,

Pastor Cee
