Leadership isn't about pleasantries and friendships. It isn't about saying the right thing to convince someone to agreeing with you. It isn't about being the coolest person around or the most important person in the room.
Leadership is being able to communicate the vision, objective or mission so well that that you team can see the picture exactly the way you do, from 50,000 feet. Leadership is being able to take that picture and use it to raise the teams passion, effectiveness and abilities so high that even the thought of not succeeding is erased.
Leadership doesn't define something you do, its defines the person you are. Don't just do leadership, be leadership.
As 2008 starts, set the your goals for the year, make sure they are measurable, attainable and find someone to share them with that can hold you accountable.
God bless.

2008 Committed to Family and Faith.
HELLO, 2008 is here can you believe it? It seems like yesterday I was graduating from high school, college, getting married and having kids. Wow, life sure did happen fast. Most days it seems like there isn't enough time to do everything. It seems like the list of things that need to be completed gets longer and longer and the days get shorter and shorter.
Earlier in my blog I wrote about setting priorities and eliminating the clutter, if you would like to read that click here.
Today, my thoughts are on 2008 and the goals I have for this year. Top of my list is to spend better time with my family. I seem to be able to get home, but the time isn't spent well once I am there. Spend more time praying and reading the bible with my wife. Spend more time on my role in the church.
All of these things are "getting done" but I know I can be a better steward of my time and be way more effective a father, husband and follower of Christ.
I challenge each of you to make a commitment to your family and your faith this year. Commit the time and resources GOD gave you to the vision of The Connection Church; We want to raise up a generation leaders capable of reaching the world for Jesus Christ.
GOD BLESS and have a WONDERFUL Walk with Christ this year.
