Vision & Execution Mar 02, 2021

It might be simple, but that doesn't mean it's easy. Sometimes leaders fall into the trap of sophistication bias and buy into the idea that complexity conveys importance. But impact-driven leaders should never underestimate the value of simplicity. So today, we're keeping it simple and discussing two leadership essentials: VISION and EXECUTION.

VISION and EXECUTION are essential for you to invest in a path for growth that is healthy, life-giving, and sustainable. In the presence of these two things, we build the foundation for us to grow. In the absence of these two things, chaos will result.

1. A clear vision for where you are going

Most people don't get what they want because most people never take the time to define what they want
“When you become successful, distractions often show up on your doorstep, masquerading as opportunities.” - Michael Hyatt
“There is a psychological, neurological, theological, and biological justification for the necessity of aim.” - Jordan Peterson

2. A plan for consistently executing on the things that matter most over an extended time

Consistent: Creating habits, systems, and routines that occur daily, monthly, and quarterly to keep you on track.
Execute: Focus more on application than information. What are you doing to move the ball forward?
Things that matter most: When you narrow your vision, you clarify your strategy.

Our whole team is rooting for you. We want to see you win!

Stop Being a Hero with Dr. Chip Dodd Feb 23, 2021

Show notes

We are raising money for families who are lacking power, water, food, and shelter in Texas. We will be matching all donations up to $5000 total. Join us to SERVE TEXAS FAMILIES by clicking the link or texting (737) 201-0377. Just make sure you select SERVE TEXAS.

Hero’s are approval-seeking, achievement-oriented, people pleasers. A hero lets their significance come at the expense of others' growth and chases perfection. A leader takes the role of the servant and chases excellence. Dr. Chip Dodd’s mission in life is to help people see who they’re made to be so they can do what they’re made to do; in this episode, he shares:

Why we should stop being a hero and start leading
Why we should chase excellence instead of perfection
And how to know when we’re falling into the trap of playing the hero

Top five pitfalls of playing the hero:

Work becomes confused with worth.
Performance begins to be valued more than presence.
To be an example to others, the true self is isolated.
Secrets sap the leader’s passion and purpose.
People become things.

Our whole team is rooting for you. We want to see you win!

Stop Creating Followers Feb 01, 2021

Show notes

The effectiveness of your leadership is not measured by the number of followers you have but by the number of leaders you develop.

As an impact-driven leader, you must be willing to sacrifice short term efficiency for long-term effectiveness. Developing leaders take a lot longer than creating followers. If you are creating followers, then by nature, you become the bottleneck in your organization.
