#11 - When you find yourself in hot water now and then, will you be like the carrot, the egg, or the coffee bean?  Will you give in like the carrot, resist like the egg, or become an agent for change?  Be the Coffee Bean.

#12 - CODA, a musical term for the ending of a composition, and here we are at the end of our Cohort 2 journey together.  In this episode, we'll take a good look in the rear view mirror to see where we've been and what we've accomplished.

#11 - PEOPLE WHO NEED PEOPLE.  Leaders are people who need to serve other people.   You need people.  Becoming a leader is a long journey, and there are always more things to learn - about working with others, and about yourself.

#10 - THREE BONES. Reba McEntire wrote, "To succeed in life you need three bones: a wishbone, a backbone, and a funnybone."  You certainly need those three bones in life, and you need them all the more to succeed as a leader.

#09 - POSITIVITY - the positive energy you radiate to others.  It's a way of thinking and a way of being.  It's a way to choose the quality of your life, rather than feel you are at the mercy of fate.  And you have to want it and work to develop it.

#08 - CHALLENGES OF CHANGE.  One of the greatest tests of your leadership abilities will be how you, as a leader serving others, will help manage change.

#07 - HERDING CATS.  YOU, as a servant leader, must build a winning ministry team of good people who can work well together.  Assembling those people into a well-functioning team can seem as difficult as Herding Cats.

#05 - LISTEN, LISTEN, LISTEN.  Listening is such an essential part of being a good leader.  You can learn so much by listening, REALLY listening.

#06 - SMART GOALS really help everyone know specifically what the goal is and when and how that goal will be accomplished.  SMART Goals are Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, and Timely.
