This weekend I have the wonderful opportunity to invest in the leaders of Sixes United Methodist Church in Canton, GA. Led by Senior Pastor Dr. Joe McKechnie, this growing church is making a real difference in the lives of people in North Atlanta. I cannot wait for my time there.
One of the sessions I will be teaching is from chapter 3 of my book 10 Indispensable Practices Of The 2-Minute Leader entitled Relating: Keeping A Leadership Journal. I will cover the 7 Truths About Relating To People you can find in Matthew 9:9-13. They are:
- Leaders Notice People – Do you have a genuine concern for the people you lead? Do you know what they laugh about, cry about and dream about?
- Leaders Invite Others To Join Them In The Journey – Are you inclusive or exclusive? Do you constantly build teams and encourage those you lead to do so as well?
- Leaders Inspire Positive Response – Leaders are thermostats or thermometers. They either set the temperature or reflect it. Do people smile or shrink back when you walk into a room?
- Leadership Build Strategic Relationships – Do you communicate with your team out of obligation or out of personal desire? Are you building bridges? Have you recently said to each team member, “I’ve noticed something you recently did that was excellent. What can I do to make you even more successful?”
- Leaders Build A Strong Core – Do you spend time and energy pouring into your inner-circle?
- Leaders Intervene When Necessary – Are you tuned in to the challenges faced by those on your team? Do you come to their defense? Do they know you have their back?
- Leaders Solve Problems – Listening is the most under-rated leadership skill. Are you a good listener? Are you aware of the real issues faced by your team and have the skill needed to provide solutions?
What a joy and honor it is to invest in the team at Sixes UMC. I can’t wait to see what God is going to do.
If you have not picked up a copy of my book yet the following is information you need to know. I am including a special bonus at the bottom to help you launch 2-Minute Leader small group studies for the active and emerging leaders in your church or organization.
Product Description – The 10 Indispensable Practices Of The 2-Minute Leader
Effective leadership is driven by key habits—indispensable practices that can be rapidly activated and applied. With compelling simplicity this unique book with accompanying study guide examines 10 of those practices—each centered on a key word, a key statement and a key application.
As I explain, two minutes is ample time to begin implementing any one of them. You will experience them in depth over the course of the book; and as you put them to work, your life and leadership are certain to be enriched.
What Do I Get
Pastors have long desired a way to create a leadership culture in their churches. Unfortunately, there has been a lack of sufficient resources to do so. I have written a practical, challenging, and inspiration tool you can put in the hands of your leaders to develop them, disciple them, and also say “Thank You”.
Here’s all that’s included:
- A hard-copy, full-color book. ($11.99 Retail Price)
- An accompanying 64-page study guide. ($5.99 Retail Price)
