Combustible Passion
When people are passionate about what they do – they are more effective at what they do.
People follow people who move.
Gift Assessments
A vital thing to do, especially on yourself.
Know who you are & what you do well.
Life should be lived so that you look forward to most days … if not, something in your life might need to change (career, job, focus)
Two types of leaders
– builders
– bankers
– builders –
They can take anything and build a fire out of it
– bankers –
Those who can cause the fire to continue through the night
Builders like builders.
Bankers like bankers.
If you only bring around you people who do what you do – they will not complete you.
Builders need bankers, bankers need builders.
How do you manage someone who is passionate in a way you do not understand?
See: tension notes from Andy Stanley
You are led best by people you easily read.
Leaders must be transparent enough so that followers can know and read you.
Leadership is Hard
When it is the hardest, be thankful you have your faith & relationship with Jesus. ‘It’s an advantage Christians have over non-Christians.’
