Off The Fence

Change, transitions, and new beginnings...It's a part of everyones lives. Some are exciting and full of joy, while others are challenging and provide opportunities for us to reflect and grow. Whichever side of the fence it lands on, we want to navigate it well, appreciate the moment, and come out on the other side better and more equipped.

David and Katy discuss the keys to preparing for these moments and how to keep the priorities in focus while navigating them successfully.

Asking yourself the hard questions...it's what great leaders do. David & Katy breakdown a well known bible passage to discover the questions that every leader should be answering.

15 GUT CHECK QUESTIONS FOR A LEADER 

#1 – “Love Is Patient” Am I giving others the same room to make mistakes as I want them to give me?  

#2 – “Love Is Kind” Do the people I lead actually like being around me? (If you want to know the answer to this question just ask yourself how much they ask to hang out with you outside of work!)  

#3 – “It Does Not Envy” Am I automatically jealous of anyone who has a great idea and constantly perceive others as a threat to my position? (Another leader struggled with this...it didn’t go well with him...see I Samuel 18:6-9).  

#4 – ‘It Does Not Boast” Do I feel like I always need to remind people of my previous victories? (If we are obsessed with the past then we’re not advancing towards the future!)  

#5 – “It Is Not Proud” Do I feel that I am the only one in the organization that has all of the answers?  

#6 – “It Is Not Rude” Am I always cutting people off mid sentence as soon as I discover that I do not like their idea...or am I willing to hear them out? (People don’t always have to be right as long as they feel like they’ve been heard.)   

#7 – “It Is Not Self Seeking” Who is this about–really?  

#8 – “It Is Not Easily Angered” Are people afraid to bring me information that is true and accurate because they know I will lose my mind and begin to yell? (Don’t shoot the mailman!)  

#9 – “It Keeps No Record Of Wrongs” Do I remind people of their past failures or encourage them in their current condition?  

#10 – “Love Does Not Delight In Evil But Rejoices In The Truth” Can people be honest and open with anyone in the organization, including me?  

#11 – “It Always Protects” Do I have the back of my leaders? It’s very discouraging to work for someone who demands loyalty but will not extend it.  

#12 – “Always Trusts” Do I believe the people who lead their assigned areas can make day-to-day decisions without my input?  

#13 – “Always Hopes” Do I always automatically assume the worse or the best about people? It is amazing what can happen on a staff or in a ministry when the leader believes in the people he/she leads.  

#14 – ”Always Perseveres” Am I quick to give up on people after they make one mistake... or am I willing to teach them through it?  

#15 – “Love Never Fails” Do I have a high turnover OR a low turnover in the number of people who work/volunteer with me/for me? (If the number is high then maybe it isn’t the people failing...)
