Talker or Doer?
Are you a silver-tongued leader? I’ve met a bunch of people in leadership through the years. Some were gifted motivators. They knew how to communicate a goal and guide to the finish. They had the ability to paint the picture. A great gift to be able to help folks see the finish line. Yet sometimes…

Compromise Is The Way To Get Things Done!
Can you REALLY get all that you want? Is that reasonable? I have always been amazed at leaders that have been able to be effective by getting the big things and accepting that not getting the small things is OK. A great leader is able to distinguish what really counts. Unfortunately, the world has embraced…

Don’t Be A Pac-Man!
Are you getting swallowed up? Do you remember the game Pac-Man? This is going back a bunch of years, but it was one of the first video/arcade games where the Pac-Man travelled the course swallowing up all the cookies as he goes along. Never stopping. Devouring the cookies. The cookies just go away. I used…

Don’t Do This When People Make Mistakes
We all screw up sometime. Maybe a careless moment or a poor evaluation of the circumstance. There are consequences when mistakes are made. I have been “blessed” many times with being clean-up crew when there is a big mess that needs to be cleaned up. The fact is mistakes are how we learn. I have…

Community Doesn’t Just Happen
One-on-one communication is on life support… We have reached to age where we will e-mail or text someone who is just a few feet away. We avoid the phone call because it takes longer than a quick text. Skip the pleasantries. Get to the point. Get your answer. Move on the next issue. Right? This…

Photo Friday: Color
Have you ever noticed when your driving really fast down the road how everything seems to turn to gray? The colors seem to wash together and the view changes to black and white film. And the faster we go- the more we see the gray. I’m a noticer. I see things most folks miss. You’ve…

Photo Friday: A Mere Speck
Last weekend my son invited me to go off shore fishing with him and two of his friends. We left early in an effort to try to beat the heat. It’s been brutally hot this year in North Florida so getting out early really helps. While riding out as the sun was coming up and…

Six Ways The Church is Missing the Boat
I hate when I miss an opportunity to do something great. Something that will result in real change. Many times these opportunities will just present themselves and then be gone in an instant. I feel like the Christian church is at a time when She can be a real force for good. The Church has…
What is Leading By Serving?
We are all leaders. We lead families, friends, workmates, and we lead by example. Leadership is not about position. A leader seizes the opportunity to make a difference. They lead from where they are. In this space, I share stories and life lessons on grabbing hold of these opportunities. Making an impact. Changing the world.
I believe that… Leadership is for Everyone!
