The more we embrace this practice, the more influence we have
It is a very simple practice: Being an encourager of others. The staff you have who encourage other staff are invaluable staff. Those in the church who encourage bring hope and life to hurting people to keep going - cold water for the weary. We rub shoulders every day with people who need a kind word of encouragement which is why there are so many "encouragements" in Scripture to "encourage one...

Choosing a healthy path even when others don't
Many people work in organizations that have significant issues, or attend churches with the same. Welcome to our world which made up of people is highly imperfect.

Relationships and influence
There is a direct and organic connection between the quality of our relationships at all levels and the influence we have with others and within our organizations. If one wants to have influence one must focus on healthy relationships.

Gains and losses in leadership
In leadership, no matter the level, most gains come with an unexpected cost - that of loss.
I spoke recently with a senior leader who is struggling with the sense of loss as he relinquishes responsibilities to others so that he can do what he is called to do - be the architect of the ministry.
