Leading During Difficult Times

I really enjoyed the National Leadership Conference this past week. It seems like every year I learn so much from each speaker.
Leaders need to be energized when the challenges are great. We need to prepare for tough times. Bill Gates at Microsoft plans as if Microsoft would go under in two years.

Leaders should not be afraid of change. Sometimes we need to think in different ways. Jesus was unconventional in the way He did things. We need to be willing to change as leaders. Culture is changing...how about our leadership styles?

Leaders need to be dynamic, flexible and creative! So it is a tough time for leaders, but a great opportunity to "step up."

Our greatest resources are PEOPLE. Leaders invest in people and relationships trump even vision.
