Week Nine

A Message to Garcia - A powerful short analogy to show people how important they can be and how important it is to do what your boss asks you to do. But more importantly, be known for doing what you say you will or whatever you are asked (within reason, of course).

A synopsis of the story is that an urgent message needs to find someone that is extremely hard to find and the letter writer who wants to get the letter to Garcia is told to give it to Rowan. Why Rowan? Because he is known for his quick action to get things done. He doesn't ask a lot of questions or give excuses as to why the task cannot be accomplished. He just gets it done. 

The whole piece instructed the reader to be like Rowan and went over the details of how to go about that task. This post is not nearly as exciting as the story so you should be sure to read it yourself.

Good to Great. What a great thought! Why do we stop at good? When we can continue on and be great. This applies to every area of our lives, personal, spiritual, physical and emotional. If you have a good marriage why not work a little harder and have a great marriage. If you are good at baking, skiing, following Jesus Christ instead work to become GREAT.

I read the Leadership with a small "L" a couple of semesters ago and enjoyed it. The three principles that Great leadership includes 1. Lead by Example 2. Lead with Vision and 3. Lead with Love. Keeping these three skills in mind as you lead those around you no matter where you are will bless your life and theirs.

Disciple leadership will help anyone who applies it to their life if you don't become physically rich you will become spiritually rich.
