Leadership Minute: Bouncing Back

bounce

Do you, as a leader, bounce back quickly from setbacks? – Bob Rosen

As a leader, the question is not whether you will have setbacks, but when you do, how quickly will you bounce back? It happens to all of us and it comes with the territory. Your resilience as a leader is crucial to your success. You and I have choices to make when faced with setbacks. We can let it get us down and discourage us to the point of giving up. Or, we can get up, dust ourselves off and get moving. None of us are exempt from setbacks so you need to stop with any notions that they are not supposed to happen to you. Get over it. Bouncing back from setbacks means you were doing something worthwhile and encountered an obstacle. Don’t let it throw you off your game or keep you from reaching your goal. How long will it take you to bounce back? That is entirely up to you. But the sooner you bounce back the sooner you will reach your goal. Get moving!

Leadership Minute: Your Task at Hand

dream

Do not pray for tasks equal to your powers. Pray for powers equal to your tasks. – Phillips Brooks

What is your BHAD (Big Hairy Audacious Dream)? You see I am convinced that many a leader settles for that which they know they can achieve. And while that may be good and noble it’s not big. It’s not audacious. It’s not far-reaching enough and does not necessitate much prayer. I’d like to challenge you today to have such a BHAD that is scares you to pray like you have never prayed before. Reverse your prayers for strength to do what you can do and pray for strength and wisdom to do what you know you can’t do by yourself and without divine intervention. Increase the size of your dream. Dare to pray big prayers and dare to do great things.
