Leadership Realities

• Leadership is not a position• You will be second guessed• Every decision will be viewed in 3

ways

Lesson #1• Relationship is the foundation of

leadership–Discipline without relationship leads

to bitterness–Truth without relationship leads to

doubt–Direction without leadership leads to

indifference.

Lesson #2• People want to be part of

something larger than themselves.

Lesson #3• Understanding a leader’s intent

creates ownership

• Ingredients for Change:–Logos–Pathos–Ethos

LOGOS

If you want to change the way you behave, you first have to change the way you think!

The Problem?

We do not think about how we think!

Control the focus of the mind

1. Paint the picture2. Answer the “why” question3. Map out a plan4. Anticipate the obstacles5. Light your hair on fire6. Write it down and read it every day7. Just Do It!!!

PATHOS

Control the focus of your heart!

The Problem?

We are not focused on the things that matter most!

How do we discover what is most important?

ETHOS

Control the focus of your life!

The Problem?

If you are not taking action on what is most important,

it is because of fear!

Joshua Chamberlain

One man’s choice changed an entire nation and the world.

Your choices have that same potential in the lives of those around you.

Small Actions X Time = Big Change

If there was one thing you could do consistently well that would have the greatest impact on your life, what would it be?
