Great leaders create order from chaos. They create balance and trust within their organization. Efficient leaders formulate smart strategies and have the ability to make decisions. They also have planning and project management skills, which they use to anticipate challenges. Most importantly, great leaders are great stewards. They act as if everything they have is a blessing and treat it with care and diligence. 

In today's episode, Tim shares the importance of the processes and systems in organizations. He discusses the importance of a leader's strategic thinking, assessment of risk versus rewards, the anticipation of the future, time, and trust. Tim also talks about taking care of the blessings bestowed upon you and why great leaders are great stewards.

If you want to learn the skills and habits that make a leader great, make sure you listen to the full episode!

1. Discover the skills and habits leaders must practice.
2. Learn how leaders create order out of chaos.
3. Tim shares with us the things he learned about leadership, planning, and project management.

• Episode Details

• Tim has a degree in Industrial Engineering from Georgia Tech. Industrial engineers are usually the people in charge of creating systems and structures to do things more efficiently. 
• His work entails delegating tasks or making automated systems or processes in production. In today's world, systematizing methods are pre-eminent.
• When Tim encounters teams or businesses struggling, he finds ways to create systems or processes to help them out.     

• Successful leaders can take chaotic situations and put them in order. 
• Insecure leaders inject chaos into situations to feed their egos and make them feel needed when things aren't going well.
• A great leader is responsible—someone who doesn’t create more chaos, overcomplicate issues, and make things harder for their team. 
• Good stewards simplify and repair situations to create order by looking at the organization’s processes and systems.

• A leader must be able to answer the questions regarding their organization’s mission with clarity.
• Clarity comes from the ability to think strategically. 
• Modern culture tends to overanalyze and overthink due to the overwhelming information available. It hinders people from making intelligent decisions. 
• Practice making quick decisions. Narrow down your options as best as you can, make a choice, and move on. 

• When making a decision, ask yourself: What's the worst thing that can happen?
• Perform trials, adjust, learn from the results, stop if necessary. Don't let decisions appear as if they are life-altering and will forever change everything.

• The lack of time is a significant challenge in modern society.
• Due to the various devices we have, people do not allow themselves to sit down, reflect, and write their ideas. 
• The ability to focus is one of our biggest challenges today. It deters people from becoming great problem solvers. 
• Take some time to think, change your habits, and alter what you’re doing.   

• Some people get anxious when they try to look into the future or beat themselves up because of their past mistakes. Creating smart plans will be a challenge if you operate with this mindset.
• Great leaders have to anticipate the future; they are strategic thinkers and planners. Excellent leaders make preparations.
• We use our past experiences to analyze and make decisions. 

• Organizations need methods, structures, or systems in place to address and deal with challenges. 
• It’s easy to fall into using your emotions and getting confirmation bias when making decisions. To avoid this, you need to gather enough data about your organization and what is happening around you.
• Get a wise counsel: Have a diverse set of people and personalities working with you to have as much knowledge as possible. 
• Get a good coach. 
• Learn from yesterday, focus on today, and plan for tomorrow.   

• Be stewards of the blessings God bestowed upon you. 
• Today's society has become great at manufacturing and marketing, so people accumulate as much stuff as they want. 
• Act as if everything you have, own, or control is a gift that you eventually need to return.
• As a steward leader, you've been given a responsibility to lead. Look at it as a gift and be grateful. Nurture and take care of it.

• A great analogy of the concept of stewardship is when you take an asset, and you move it into a trust. The trustee becomes responsible for the asset, but they don’t own it.
• It’s also similar to Tim’s experience with house-sitting.
• We don’t own the things we think we do. 
• You can't take your possessions with you when you leave this Earth. 

Seek Go Create is for leaders, entrepreneurs, ministers, and everyone seeking excellence, moving towards success, or creating something new.

• Know more about Patrick Lencioni and his books here.
• Episode Details

• Be consistent in communicating in different environments and with different people. 
• Being consistent is also a form of integrity. 

• We need to be mindful of what we put on writing. 
• Before sending a message or posting on social media, ask yourself how the receiver or audience might take your words and the tone of your message. 
• If you can have someone proofread your writing, do it. 
• Do not be so quick to push the send button. Review first the text and then the tone of your message.

• Whether it’s a one-on-one conversation or speaking in front of an audience, look people in the eyes, genuinely listen to what they have to say, and ask relevant questions. 
• Looking people in the eyes when conversing or interacting shows genuine love and compassion.

• Make eye contact with as many people as you can. 
• Have a pleasant face and smile. Be agreeable. 
• Allow for comfortable spacing when conversing. Be aware of your stance or position too. 
• Manage the tone of your voice accordingly.
• Be a good listener. Ask questions and acknowledge others by using their name. This way, you show you’re genuinely interested and you want to understand the person you’re talking to. 

• Facilitating is something computers can’t do or replace. That is why leaders should know how to facilitate a group of people. 
• Bank on your power to listen when facilitating. 
• Develop your ability to ask questions, and make sure everyone is involved. 

• You have to think about how to present and dress yourself according to the given setting, event, or environment. 
• Be mindful of dress codes. 

• Listen first, then talk. When in doubt, default to listening to gauge the person you’re talking to or what’s going on. 
• Be clear and concise as much as you can. Always attempt to say it with fewer words and don’t be repetitive if it’s not necessary. 
• Overcommunicating is better than undercommunicating. Emphasize all important points and be clear, but make sure you do not come off as repetitive. 
• Determine present barriers to improve communication. Take down walls that may be hindering effective communication. 
• Smile, listen, and call people by their name. 

• Employees need to be known by their manager. 
• They need to know their job matters to someone in some way. 
• They need to know whether they are doing their job well.

The Bible shows us a lot about learning leadership, love, and stewardship. We get a glimpse of what it takes to become a leader through the stories of different biblical characters. The Book of Timothy specifically lists down the qualities of a bishop or an overseer. It shows God’s high expectations for those learning leadership roles.

In this episode, Tim talks about what the Scripture says about learning leadership. He expounds on the qualifications of a true steward of the Church. Finally, Tim emphasizes the importance of loving others as we love ourselves.

To know more about how the Bible describes a leader, listen to this episode! 

1. Understand the true meaning of leadership.
2. Discover the qualities of a bishop or overseer.
3. Learn the importance of loving others as you love yourself.

• Episode Details

• The Bible sets a high bar when it comes to overseeing or leading people.
• Leadership means being a steward over those people, places, and things with which God has gifted you.
• Even if you are not a believer, you can learn a lot from what the Bible says about leadership.

• Many Christians find it challenging to portray God’s basic commandments.
• The basic commandment is to love God, love people, and love yourself.
• Matthew 22:39, Mark 12:31, Galatians 5:14, and James 2:8 emphasize the importance of loving others as you love yourself.

• There are many ways to become an everyday leader.
• Timothy 3:1-7 establishes a level of excellence that leaders should strive to achieve. It is a portion of a letter written by Paul to Timothy.
• A bishop is like a leader of leaders. He oversees people, churches, and organizations.

• If a man desires a position of leadership, he desires good work.
• Do not desire leadership to have power over people.
• It needs to be for proper reasons.

• Blamelessness means you cannot have a lot of issues. You need to have your act together.
• You need to be a faithful person, which includes faithfulness in marriage. If you cannot honor and love your spouse, wouldn’t it also be difficult for you to honor, love, and be a good steward in a role outside marriage?
• Be vigilant—do not be lazy. Instead, be sober and focused.
• Hospitality: Be welcoming to people.
• Be apt to teach. You need good communication skills to share information and provide your wisdom to others.

• A leader is not greedy and does not over-indulge.
• Do not look at what you can gain from people.
• Be patient, especially when dealing with other people. Do not be a brawler who’s fighting and arguing all the time.
• Be contented, satisfied, and at peace with where you currently are.

• We cannot be responsible for all the actions of our children.
• However, we are responsible for raising them.
• We need to be able to establish leadership at home.

• If you cannot take care of your own house, you cannot take care of the Church.
• You have to learn to control bigger things.

• Placing people in leadership roles too soon causes pride.
• People start thinking they are more than they are.
• Worse, it can start an internal conflict when people tell them how great they are because of their role.
• Learning leadership roles means being ready. It means being mindful.

• You must have a good report with people. Otherwise, you will fall into the snare of the devil.
• Treat everyone with respect and honor. This is a way of learning leadership.

Leadership isn’t just about power and authority over others. Genuine and effective leadership entails stewardship, humility, and true influence. Many people are consumed by the recognition that they let ego and selfishness get in the way of better leadership. However, being a steward means prioritizing other people and taking responsibility for your actions. 

In today’s episode, our host Tim Winders shares his three most important aspects of effective leadership. He also talks about what mindset leaders should adapt, what actions they should take, and how they should act as true stewards of other people. Before you can lead others, being a leader starts with the self.

Tune in to this podcast to learn more about effective leadership!

1. Learn more about the proper attitude and mindset that leaders should adapt to attract positivity and influence.
2. Know which actions you should take as a leader, and how your words and thoughts influence these decisions. 
3. Find out how to stay accountable as a steward and what your priorities should be.

• Episode Details

• For Tim, leadership is being a steward over the people, places, and things God has gifted you with.

• Being a steward in every setting entails the right attitude and mindset.
• Attitude is a word that is overused in today’s time.
• Tim describes an analogy of the kind of things stinky and dirty trash would attract.
• A negative attitude unsurprisingly attracts bad people, whereas a positive attitude is uplifting and attracts positivity.
• Do you want a bunch of you around? If you don’t, you need to make some adjustments and change.

• One of the best ways to identify your attitude is to sincerely ask someone else close to you.
• Knowing your attitude is the first step toward change.
• Your attitude can easily change if you have the foundation to do it.
• Be aware of your purpose so that you can align your attitude with it.

• Reflect deeply on your thoughts as these are seeds from which your actions come.
• Likewise, you also need to think about your words, which should line up with your actions.
• We should watch the things that come out of our mouth before we even speak.
• Actions aren’t separate from your thoughts and words. They are a result of what we think and speak.

• As leaders, motivation is only a small part of what we can do.
• Environment has a much bigger impact in terms of motivating people.
• Most organizations typically create environments that repel people instead of attracting them.

• Society dictates how we perceive our strengths and weaknesses, which relate to how we lead.
• An overused strength can become a weakness.
• If you have a strength that gives you energy, you have to embrace it.

• Leaders have to know how to make a firm decision.
• There are things that need you to make a fast decision and move on.
• Minimalism can help you reserve your decision-making for more important choices.
• Manage your time well because if you don’t, someone else will.

• It's disturbing to see fewer people in authority actually take responsibility for leading people.
• Self-awareness is important to understand what having influence entails.
• The biggest reason people don't have influence is pride and selfishness.
• Humility is an extremely underrated trait of a leader.
• Being a leader isn’t about you. It’s a gift from God.

• Being intentional means that you do things with extreme focus.
• You have to be more focused on today than yesterday. Don’t beat yourself up for the past.
• Don’t think about the future too much if you can’t even control the present.
• Leadership is developed in isolation, where you are only surrounded by your thoughts.
• Learn to manage yourself before you are in a position to influence others.

• Don’t get into the situation of blaming other people and being a victim.
• We alone are responsible for our own thoughts, attitude, and actions.
• The stench of victim mentality repels people.

• Essentialism is the ability to determine what your priority is.
• Look at the things most important to you. 
• Set priorities for yourself in every aspect of your life, be it work, relationships, friends, or even family.
• If you don’t establish your priorities yourself, someone else will.

• Our culture is structured in such a way that it encourages people to focus entirely on themselves.
• Being a steward entails getting out of yourself and giving attention to other people. Influence is about others and not you.
• Ego is a potent drug that permeates your soul and makes you self-centered.
• If you don’t humble yourself, you will be humbled somehow. The heart of a leader is really that of a servant.
• Establish trust with people, and don’t be a hypocrite. Always do the best you can to operate out of integrity.

There are many types of leaders. As a society, we look up to our leaders to make the most critical decisions for us. But even with this mindset, we often fail to see the true essence of leadership. We often forget being a leader entails creating an environment that allows people to be the best they can be. How can you expect people to be motivated in an environment that brings you down instead of uplifting you? To address this,  you should become an everyday leader.

In this episode, host Tim Winders discusses the characteristics of a good leader and the importance of character and integrity in leadership. He shares how his experiences as a coach became the catalyst for the third season of Seek, Go, Create—The Everyday Leader.
