A Simple Approach to Leadership (#0751)

2012/06/05 By Greg

Scott Williams has considerable leadership experience as a prison warden, lead pastor of a congregation that grew to an average weekly worship attendance of over 3,500 during his tenure, consultant, and social media guru.  He is also the author of Church Diversity: Sunday the Most Segregated Day of the Week (2011 – read my review here).  Recently, he shared his list of “10 Ways to Make Leadership Simple:”

  • Believe In Yourself
  • Believe In Others
  • Point The Direction
  • Understand That Team Matters
  • Create an Environment For Growth and Develop Others
  • Take Some Risks
  • Truly Care About Others
  • Inspire and Motivate Others
  • Move People From Where They Are To Where They Need To Be
  • dream BIG. think BIGGER.

 

So What?

In recent years leadership has been written about as much as or perhaps more than any other topic.  While one can glean wisdom from most of these new sources, few offer simple approaches.

  • What is your one big take away from Williams’ list?
  • What is the best piece of leadership advice you have received recently?
