On Sunday afternoon, my family and I went to the movies and watched Toy Story 3.  This is not the normal kind of movie I enjoy but everyone I knew who saw it highly recommended it. We had a great time and what is shown during the credits is absolutely hilarious! The creativity and talent of the teams at Disney and Pixar are […]

Brian Dodd on June 27, 2010 in Character, Church Leadership
I have commented on this many times but I have the privilege of attending Fellowship Bible Church where Dr. Crawford Loritts is our Senior Pastor. Today’s message was from I John 2:23 – 3:3. It’s not talked about often, but after reading this passage I have come to the realization that the greatest leadership in the […]
How To Make The Best Decision You’ve Never Made
Brian Dodd on June 27, 2010 in Character, Great Teams
                                                                                  Leaders like movement. They have a bias towards action.  The chief characteristic for those in leadership is that by definition they are taking people somewhere. Therefore, conflicting feelings spring forth in us as times arise when the best decision is to do nothing at all or just say “No”. Leaders frequently struggle with signs that say STOP, Yield, or Do Not Enter. John Heyman of […]

5 Leadership Lessons From The NBA Draft
Brian Dodd on June 26, 2010 in Sports Leadership
Three of the most uneventful hours in television have become the annual NBA Draft. That’s sad because for years it was one of my favorite events of the year. However, with so many players coming out early who are unknown and unprepared, the drama of the draft has all but diminished. That being said, we can still take away […]

The two most exciting words in sports is “Game 7”. On Thursday evening, the Los Angeles Lakers defeated the Boston Celtics in the 7th game of this year’s NBA Finals. As I watched the game and listened to the analysis throughout, several leadership principles became apparent that can be learned from when we want to elevate either our personal or […]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vJ2Xv6iVRpw 72% of all individuals who earn six figure incomes describe themselves as avid sports fans. It really makes sense when you think about. Sports is similar to the world they live in. It is competitive, requires teamwork, overcoming adversity, preparation, aligned leadership, in-game adjustments, compensation issues, and ultimately it’s measurable. Somebody wins and somebody […]

Brian Dodd on June 4, 2010 in Great Teams, Sports Leadership
At my daughter’s school, they conclude each year with Awards Day. The highest honor bestowed on a student is called the Warrior Award. It is an award handed out to the one student of each class that best exemplified the qualities of a Christian warrior. The problem with the award is it is completely subjective. […]
