Notes from the session given by Floyd H. Flake
- Leadership is about moving people beyond their own self-seeking motives
- Leadership is at times about the role of transitioning for the future. The leader will not be there in that position forever and should be aware of setting the stage for the leaders that are yet to come.
- To many things fail because the goal is unclear and we don’t know where we are going
It means standing up to those who are opposed to the vision because they just don’t expect you to do it. - You have to be willing to risk and even die for the vision and have an unwillingness to compromise.
- There is a time to make a decision and that is a leadership moment
- Great Leaders have to be moral and people of integrity
- Face it there are some folks who are just plain mean, but that doesn’t mean that you have to be
- The people around the leader have to be ones that the leader and those who are following the vision are trusted.
- Trust God enough to be honest and to always do the right thing.
- A true Leader will lead the people to the place that they are asking: “What are we going to do next!”
- Transcendent Leaders always look for those who are going to carry the vision beyond the life of the leader
- Our job now is to work at creating leaders who will do more than we have been able to do ourselves
Some really good things to things to think about and dwell upon here!
