  The Recovering Leader — Authority: 110
  What you believe drives (and limits) what you can achieve.

  Blogs — Authority: 162
  What did Peter Drucker, the Father of Modern Management, have to say about leadership?

• Why Should Followers Respect a Leader?

  
  Small Town Pastor — Authority: 134
  Respect is a matter of leadership–not position, title or gender.  Gaining respect of others always begins with having respect for yourself.  Leaders whom the people respect don’t grab all the credit of a victory for themselves.  Leaders cannot help people experience success unless they have themselves been ...

• Monday LeaderTip: Unmasking

  
  The Recovering Leader — Authority: 110
  Maturing as a leader involves shedding masks. “Never let them see you sweat,” “don’t apologize,” “put on a game face" or a "poker face" are coping mechanisms, not leadership skills. These and other pretenses may fool people, but in so doing, cut you off from very the resources and solutions they could ...

  The Recovering Leader — Authority: 110
  W hen was the last time you “gave your all” on a project, in a role, or a situation in your life?

• Monday LeaderTip: Applying High Standards Responsibly

  
  The Recovering Leader — Authority: 110
  Applying high standards to your own performance as a leader is appropriate. Yet taken too far, they can lead to being overly self-critical, and can adversely affect the way you treat others too. Over time, the high cost of this approach drags down performance—and despite what you may think, your achievements are ...

• Random Thoughts on a Sunday Morning

  
  Small Town Pastor — Authority: 134
  When looking for good people to serve in any important capacity in the church, we look for FAT people.  Faithful, Available, Teachable people.  At the same time, it’s important that even the leaders are “teachable.”  When a leader is out of touch with God and the people, he loses his teach-ability. G.K. ...

  Approachability is critical for leadership, as it fosters healthy and necessary communication between you and your team.

• Monday LeaderTip: Delegate the "What," Not the "How"

  
  The Recovering Leader — Authority: 110
  Great delegation habits make leaders and organizations more effective. First and foremost, it’s important to trust your people to do the job their own way. Yet, if you’re telling them what you want done AND how to do it, you’re hindering their efforts and your own. Delegate the "what" and leave the "how" it gets ...

• Morning Thought on Character

  
  Small Town Pastor — Authority: 134
  The character of the leader underlines the content of the message.  If you want to be a leader, you have to first check your motives to be sure your desire isn’t driven by ego or personal gain…then live your message.  Simple?  Uh-uh.  I have to continually ask myself, “Does my character complement my ...
