Leadership

Leadership is the word for today.  I have read many books, attended seminars, listened to CD’s, downloaded podcasts and watched DVD’s.  My mentor and I discuss leadership qualities, what I have learned is I know a lot of stuff. 

I recently took some time off from these types of methods of leadership development.  A couple months ago, I heard Francis Chan speak  and when he was asked what books are you reading, he responded with a statement that rocked me. He responded that he wasn’t reading anything other than the Bible. Whoa, I wasn’t ready for that answer. So my sabbatical began.

 I had some pretty interesting thoughts during this time. As I read the Bible and compared it to leadership books I have read,  I realized how similar they are. We have the knowledge but we don’t always do what it says. We are missing the call to action part. 

Call to action can be related to anything we do, whether it is with our finances, leadership, helping someone in need or being guided by the “Holy Spirit”.  It isn’t our knowledge, it is our actions that count.  What is it that you know you should be doing, but aren’t?
