There are human temperaments that seem to be well suited to leadership.  There are positions in organizations which require leadership.  But there is also a phenomenon where a person looks behind them and realizes that they are being followed.  Not by a spy or a private eye, but by people who believe they have found someone who knows the way.

I believe that such organic leadership is often the product of some simple disciplines which anyone can incorporate into their lives.  Let me share five such disciplines which I have observed, and some of the stories that have emerged from attempting to incorporate those disciplines into my life.

You may notice that I am usually on the road, in some way, while I am talking. That is partly because if I don't multi-task the podcast is the thing most likely to be crowded out of my life. But there is something deeper to the idea.  Consider with me how thinking on the road may in fact be a different method of thinking.

This is a story from my covenants book which I promised to post for a friend.  It considers the problems inherent to an organization of trying to mix the Old covenant and the New.

Something for my Grandkids to enjoy.  But others may remember enjoying the story as well.
