So today at church this guy taught about leadership, and every fiber of my being wishes that what he taught about is not true, but I just can’t do it. He taught that leadership is about leading people and not pleasing people. I mean that is huge!
Here are my thoughts regarding this message. I love how sermons are years of experience, pain, hardship, and learning condensed into a thirty minute pieces of information. I mean if timm’s experience was anything like mine then what he taught about today was learned through many hard lessons. For me the past two years have been a life lesson teaching me that leading people is not about pleasing people. Which as I right about this principle, I think this is so easy for me to write about, but when it comes to putting into action I still struggle with it.
I just find it so backwards that when you try to please people ultimately you end up leading them no where, but despite the fact that it seems so contradictory to logical thinking. It is one of the truest principles I can think of when it comes to leadership. So I just wanted to say I appreciated timm’s message this morning, and I hope that people understand the weight that this principle should hold in every leader’s life. I know it has gained a lot of traction in my life and in developing me into a better leader.
