Tuesday Tidbit: Leadership

My Monday Motivation, was going to bed at 8:30 PM with my Bug after a 10 hour day at work. I am a little behind at work, but catching up quickly. Today I only put in 9 hours, but had a congregational leadership thing to do right after work. So today's post will be short. I am still composing my response the the amazing leadership training I got a couple weeks ago, but here are a few ways leadership can be.


It would be nice if leadership was always a team effort, organic, creative, serving and consensus.


Then there are times when leadership is what is is perceived to be, one person paving the way for others.
Unfortunately, no matter how hard we try, there will always be those that see your leadership style like this.


I am a young leader, always learning and striving to be the best person I can be so that I can lead by example. I may not be a perfect leader, but I am self aware enough to know where I can improve. Not at all to sound ego centric, but I wouldn't mind being lead by someone like me. I think overall I do a good job and the reason why I think I do, is because I try to "Be the Solution" and stay open to wonderful ideas to achieve success... even if it is not something I would've come up with for myself.
Really, my mentor, my hero and the person I aspire to be when I too reach 800+ years old. 


Words to live by:


“Do or do not... there is no try.”
“Luke: What's in there? Yoda: Only what you take with you.”
“[Luke:] I can’t believe it. [Yoda:] That is why you fail.”
“Named must your fear be before banish it you can.”




Thankful Three

  1. For taking chances
  2. For learning to put myself first
  3. For Nutella S'mores (I didn't have any Hershey's, great discovery)
