LEAD WITH FEARLESSNESS Too often leaders shrink away from their true potential out of fear. Fear of failure, fear of judgement, fear of missing out, fear of rejection - all of these fears are real and debilitating but must be faced and conquered for true leadership potential to be realized. You will be mocked, shamed, ridiculed and derided for thinking differently, for having confidence and for going your own way. GO ANYWAY!! You will face judgement and a loss of friends when you rise to the top as a leader. RISE ANYWAY!! You will fail from time to time (actually many times) when you take risks to do what no one else has done. TAKE RISKS ANYWAY!! You will be afraid. You will tremble. You will have to face your fears head on if you stay the course to success. STAY THE COURSE ANYWAY!! https://youtu.be/eQPwtonGk9E Tell It Like It Is TV with J Loren Norris providing daily leadership video lessons for faith, family and freedom.

LEAD WITH AWARENESS OF YOUR OWN LIMITS I have a friend who has acquired knowledge, years of experience and specialized tools to do work I cannot do. His abilities and willingness to get work done are great as well. But sometimes I cannot afford the rates he charges for the work he does. He is an auto mechanic. I could have said the same statements about my dentist, my physician, the trainer at the gym, and John Maxwell. I pay all of them for specialized tools, years of experience and acquired knowledge. There is also a place, a season, a category of needs where the same services I pay each of these people for are provided to others free of charge. BEING WILLING TO DO THE WORK DOES NOT MAKE IT LESS VALUABLE. HOLD YOUR VALUE. https://youtu.be/M2PSd8dY-ec Tell It Like It Is TV with J Loren Norris providing daily leadership video lessons for faith, family and freedom.

LEAD WITH YOUR OWN HOMEWORK Regardless what sector of society you hail from, YOUR OPINION has great worth. Your opinion is a form of currency. You need to be certain your opinion is not being used by someone else for their gain. Be informed. Be wise. Do some of your own research. It is too easy to be manipulated by those you trust. LEADERS SHOULD KNOW THE WEIGHT AND VALUE OF THEIR OPINION and THEIR OPINION MUST BE AN INFORMED OPINION https://youtu.be/8VxwEKS2XEg Tell It Like It Is TV with J Loren Norris providing daily leadership video lessons for faith, family and freedom.

LEAD PERSISTENTLY FOR HOPE The most tragic topic in the world today is the collapse in the perceived value of humanity. From abortion to sex slavery, from pornography to child labor - humans as a race have done despicable things to one another. As leaders, parents, teachers, care providers we must be bold and courageous to stand in the gap, fight the tide and declare justice and rights for those who can’t. As a dad, the righteous indignation boils over in my imagination when I consider one of my children or grandchildren in trouble in such a way - it is a growing indignation that I feel for those who are defenseless but not blood kin.

LEAD WITH THE KIND OF PERSON YOU ARE How people respond to your requests of the. Is a huge indication of the level of respect and honor they hold for you. If you make a request which is not significantly inconvenient, and most of your friends giggle in disbelief or mock you, it is a sign they do not honor you highly for the person you are to them. On the other hand if you make a request which is highly inconvenient and most of your friends are willing to make a sacrifice of sorts for your, the character you represent in their life is exhibited by their response to you. COMPASSIONATE AND CARING LEADERS EARN LOYALTY AND WILLINGNESS TO SACRIFICE IN OTHERS https://youtu.be/6UN2PdN7kDk Tell It Like It Is TV with J Loren Norris providing daily leadership video lessons for faith, family and freedom.

LEAD WITH THOUGHTFULNESS Many people are so focused on their own “rights” and on “justice” as it best serves them, they can seldom of ever see the impact such selfishness has on people around them. To take the time to think about how your words might affect others is a sign of true maturity, compassion and wisdom. It is the beginning of reconciliation and stuff great diplomats and peace makers are made of. NEXT TIME YOU HAVE A HEATED ARGUMENT OR CONVERSATION ASK YOURSELF: “What could I have done or said differently?” https://youtu.be/PvnYn3thy3k Tell It Like It Is TV with J Loren Norris providing daily leadership video lessons for faith, family and freedom.

LEAD WITH YOUR CORE STRENGTH Today’s world has become over run with celebrities who want to use their star power to gain and wield influence. In my humble opinion this causes two significant problems. 1. Being “famous” does not make one an expert and every other topic in the world. 2. The “drive” to become famous in order to promote ones self has lead many people to abandon their true calling, audience and message in pursuit of the “holy grail” of platform. “If only had as many video views as _______ I could really get my message out there.” Branding, advertising, marketing, a top notch sales system are all good things, but when the message is modified to be sellable, I am afraid betrayal is on the horizon. Discover your calling. Define your message. Lead from those discoveries to LOVE THE ONES YOU WERE CALLED TO SERVE. https://youtu.be/0CdssTWta6E Tell It Like It Is TV with J Loren Norris providing daily leadership video lessons for faith, family and freedom.

LEAD WITH CONSTANT COURSE CORRECTION Like a plane on autopilot, a sail boat spends more time traveling toward somewhere else to get where it’s going. Constantly corrected by the captain to chase the winds, the path looks more like a zig zag than a straight line. Knowing how to follow the changing winds, where the water is deepest, where hidden obstacles lie, these are all required of the captain AND YOU as you lead and navigate for your team. LEAD WITH AN UNDERSTANDING OF HIDDEN DANGERS AND CORRECT COURSE TO SAFEGUARD YOUR TEAM https://youtu.be/XGq2EhMboVU Tell It Like It Is TV with J Loren Norris providing daily leadership video lessons for faith, family and freedom.

LEAD WITH APPRECIATION It’s far too easy to forget what others have invested in your success. Especially if you look at where you are now and think, “Wow, I have a long way to go!” Parents, grandparents, neighbors, friends and significant others have sacrificed time, material things, opportunities, sleep, and deep emotions to see you make it this far. Most of them would do it all over again as well. Many people have a team of employees, board members or volunteers who have sacrificed greatly because the cause and the leader are worth supporting. Do you say THANK YOU enough? Do you appreciate them in ways which are special to them or just ways important to you? LEARN TO APPRECIATE OTHERS BY LEARNING HOW THEY FEEL APPRECIATED MOST. https://youtu.be/xrrRNEMbY2Y Tell It Like It Is TV with J Loren Norris providing daily leadership video lessons for faith, family and freedom.

LEADING WITH FAIRNESS IS CRITICAL TO SOCIETIES SUCCESS Some among us are truly trapped in their current circumstances with no way to change their situation. I dare say the are fewer than those who claim it is true of themselves. I am afraid what some understand as social justice is less about equal opportunity and more about equal outcome. Redistribution of wealth will not change mindsets, poor budget habits and long term social issues which lead to poverty. However, changing mindsets, identifying and breaking the causes of poverty and enabling people to improve their station in life will make a huge difference in overall income and success. IN MY OWN LIFE AND THE LIFE OF MANY I KNOW PERSONALLY, WEALTH ACCUMULATION IS AN ISSUE OF PRIORITIES. https://youtu.be/LXu0OheTp1E Tell It Like It Is TV with J Loren Norris providing daily leadership video lessons for faith, family and freedom.
