Spirit Led: Effective Leadership

Great leaders lead from the inside out.

Jesus focused on personal leadership first–matters of character. At the core of these matters of character is integrity. Without integrity, no one will follow you, and if no one is following you, you are not leading. Leadership is truly an inside job.

Being a leader takes courage, discipline, and determination. While a great leader can bring great success, it also comes at the cost of being judged and overwhelmed. The Bible speaks of so many wonderful leaders and how God blessed them for their work.

Spirit Led: Investing in Others

Compounding Christ Centered Life

Compounding is the process of the exponential increase in the value of an investment due to earning interest on both principal and accumulated interest.

2. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Matthew 6:33 NIV
3. In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven. Matthew 5:16 NIV

5. Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.” Matthew 22:37-40 NIV

Spirit Led: Burnout

9 SIGNS YOU’RE BURNING OUT IN LEADERSHIP
By Carey Nieuwhof

1. Your motivation has faded. The passion that fueled you is gone, and your motivation has either vapourized or become self-centered.
2. Your main emotion is ‘numbness’ – you no longer feel the highs or the lows. This was actually one of the earliest signs for me that the edge was near. I wrote more about emotional numbness here.
3. People drain you. Of course there are draining people on the best of days. But not everybody, every time. Burnout often means few to no people energize you anymore.
4. Little things make you disproportionately angry. When you start losing your cool over small things, it’s a sign something deeper is very wrong.
5. You’re becoming cynical. Many leaders fight this one, but cynicism rarely finds a home in a healthy heart.
6. Your productivity is dropping. You might be working long hours, but you’re producing little of value. Or what used to take you 5 minutes just took you 45. That’s a warning bell.
7. You’re self-medicating. Your coping mechanism has gone underground or dark. Whether that’s overeating, overworking, drinking, impulsive spending or even drugs, you’ve chosen a path of self-medication over self-care. Ironically, my self-medication was actually more work, which just spirals things downward.
8. You don’t laugh anymore. Nothing seems fun or funny, and, at its worst, you begin to resent people who enjoy life.
9. Sleep and time off no longer refuel you. Sometimes you’re not burnt out; you’re just tired. A good night’s sleep or a week or two off will help most healthy people bounce back with fresh energy. But you could have a month off when you’re burnt out and not feel any difference. I took three weeks off during my summer of burn out, and I felt worse at the end than when I started. Not being refueled when you take time off is a major warning sign you’re burning out. Identifying with just a few of these signs might just be a sign that you’re tired.

Discernment

A wise man will listen and increase his learning, and a discerning man will obtain guidance— Proverbs 1:5

Spirit Led: Developing Great Relationships

Developing Great Relationships

The primary purpose of God’s Word is to teach us God’s heart about relationship. God wants an intimate and growing relationship with people, including owners, entrepreneurs, executives and leaders. In giving his Son on the cross, God paid an a great price to have you and me be in a right, intimate and growing relationship with Him. He wants our heart, not our professional curiosity.

If God has our heart, He can influence the way we manage people, advance vision and carry out the Great Commission. His transformative work challenges and changes our attitudes.

Leaders help themselves and others to do the right things. They set direction, build an inspiring vision, and create something new. … Yet, while leaders set the direction, they must also use management skills to guide their people to the right destination, in a smooth and efficient way.

Spirit Led: Holy Spirit and Fire Pt1

Fire: the Work of the Holy Spirit

Fire provides a helpful picture of the work of the Holy Spirit as fire in three critical ways as He brings the presence of God, the passion of God, and the purity of God to Christians.

The Holy Spirit and the Presence of God. The Holy Spirit is the presence of God as He indwells the hearts of all Christians (Romans 8:9). In the Old Testament, the Lord showed His presence to the Israelites by filling the tabernacle with fire (Numbers 9:14-15).
