9 FOR NOW

from Hugh Breland to leaders

9 for NOW…

#1 – Am I actively connecting to the people and places God wants me to OR am I wishing and waiting to be connected to? (model it for students)

#2 – Am I known as the person who sits around and complains about a problem or the one who rolls up his sleeves and dives into how to deal with it?

#3 – Would I rather hear about the other student leaders having a major win or a minor problem?  (This reveals our heart!)

#4 – Am I known as the guy/girl who makes promises but does not follow through or can people take me at my word?  (For the answer to this question ask those closest to you!)

#5 – What steps am I taking to increase my own leadership capacity?  (I recently saw Brian Houston tweet, “Leaders goal:  To constantly increase my capacity in order to lift the limits for others.”)

#6 – Do I genuinely care about the people God has called me to lead or am I just using them to enlarge my platform?  (For the answer to this question simply ask your direct reports how they honestly feel!)

#7 – Am I honestly and sincerely giving my best effort in what the Lord has called me to lead or am I allowing myself to slip into cruise control and complacency?

#8 – Am I a consistent vision caster or not?

#9 – What intentional opportunities have I given others (specifically students) to fulfill purpose recently?
