I’ve often offered to my team (and my children as well, but that’s a different arena of leadership) that if there is a tough conversation to be had, that I will happily call the person and have it for them. It’s what my friend Bjorn Lutke calls being the stern grandad. He says that ifContinue reading “Manifest Leadership 12 Make the Tough Calls”

Manifest Leadership 10 Do the Right Thing!
If you are a leader, do the right thing no matter what. Tell the truth, keep confidence, take responsibility for your failures, love people. Do what is right no matter how you feel about it.

Grace and Faith Day 2

Pastor’s Don’t Do This 25 Being Light About the Things of God
Last week, I asked someone who was working for the church in the finance department to give money to two ministries and they refused.

Pastors Don’t Do This 24: Being Super Mature
We should all be mature, there’s something ugly about an immature leader, but some leaders get so mature they start believing their own press, they take themselves far too seriously, and they forget how to have fun. They then lose humility. We have to enter the kingdom like children (Matthew 18.3) – and often pastors are theContinue reading “Pastors Don’t Do This 24: Being Super Mature”
