LifePoint LIVE

At the end of the day, I try to spend some quiet time just to reflect on the days events. Just a personal review of what I did or did not say to the people I came in contact with, or how I responded to the events of the day. Many times I wish I could re-live the moments and respond in a more appropriate manner. This helps me make personal improvements and a conscience effort to do better next time.

Leadership involves constant evaluation. After every event, gather those involved and critique the situation. Even if things have gone well, analyze them. This will build confidence and trust with teams and provide direction for the future.

Thank you for the Christian leadership you exemplify each day.

It’s easy to focus on the things that people do wrong. Leaders must learn to “catch” people doing something right then praise them for their actions of goo performance. A simple “Good Job” will go a long way in developing people.

Thank you for the Christian leadership that you exemplify each day.

Dr. Gene Bottoms with the Southern Educational Regional Board (SREB) has conducted extensive research and years of field studies in local high schools across the country. His research consistently shows that student performance increases when high expectation are set and they are held accountable. Even students with a history of low performance consistently meet high expectations when they are held accountable.

This is a valuable lesson as leaders. Adults are no different that high school students. We must hold high expectations and hold people accountable if we expect them to become more effective and productive.

Remember most people (young and old) like structure, they like to know what parameters they have to work within, and the want to know what are the expectation As leaders, it is our responsibility to set the expectation.

Thank you for the Christian leadership that you exemplify each day.
