Our focus should be creating an opportunity for them to freely reach out to God and allow HIM to do His thing ;-) Mon, 23 May 2011 08:57:53 +0000 http://blessingmpofu.com/whos-glory-is-it-anyway/#IDComment155177636 http://blessingmpofu.com/successful-leaders-have-a-d-d/#IDComment135540734 yes... there is need to apportion time, attention and other resources in proportion to their importance and not necessarily equally... thanks Susan!

Tue, 23 Nov 2010 09:30:21 +0000 http://blessingmpofu.com/the-speed-of-destruction/#IDComment111424662 http://www.maurilioamorim.com/2010/11/before-you-name-or-rename-your-church/#IDComment111231932 great post! good points to consider. could another thing to consider be what you want to communicate about who you are and or what you're about? (don't know if am putting this clearly...) Mon, 22 Nov 2010 12:59:10 +0000 http://www.maurilioamorim.com/2010/11/before-you-name-or-rename-your-church/#IDComment111231932 http://blessingmpofu.com/communicators-must-never-forget/#IDComment110863561 true, some communicate more naturally than others... at the same time, i think "the naturals" need to be careful so as not to become complacent and overlook some of the things highlighted... thanks Els!

I think something that i have learnt from the interview is not to take questions for granted... the importance of structuring them in such as way that one doesn't get typical answers... thanks Mike and Michael!

I think it is a dangerous thing to be "an absent leader". If your team doesn't have a certain sense of your presence / leadership then you may not really be leading. Oh! & thanks for highlighting the importance of giving enough room to your team to employ their skills and creativity, to do things their way... thanks Elsie!

I've seen a lot of spin offs from bad ideas. In fact, it is the times that we've also had a lot of bad ideas that we got some good or best ones! The challenge is in making sure that the "criticism" of the ideas is not one that shuts others down, but gives confidence for them to just throw in ideas no matter how "lame" they may seem... good one ron!

At the moment I find myself in a couple of new roles in different teams and projects... I especially like looking diagonally, it challenges one line of thought, facilitating some "out of the box thinking" I would like the book, promise to read it and will use it to better my leadership and team to make a difference for good!
