Greg Laurie: A Dad’s Role

by Leave a Comment

Dad

As Greg Laurie says in a recent post,

It was unheard of in first-century culture for a father to abandon his responsibilities in his home. Nowadays, it seems to be almost the norm. We are losing fathers at an unprecedented rate in our culture.

It’s true. We have an epidemic of passivity and absenteeism among fathers. It’s too easy to bail and to hard to take full responsibility and get in there and do the Dad thing with love and passion.

Greg offers this solution:

Instead of provoking them, we are to bring them up in the training and admonition of the Lord. This could also be translated “to nourish and feed.”

And more help as well.

Trash

Mondays go better when Friday went well. And one way to feel that Friday went well is to fly into a wrap-up mentality.

Craig Jarrow, the Time Management Ninja, offers these tips for Friday afternoons (or whatever day you wrap things up):

When you are about to run out of the office for the weekend, you should take the time to clean up before you go. Even a few minutes getting your work organized can help you unplug and relax during your time off…

  1. Empty your Email Inbox
  2. Take Care of your Todo list
  3. Tidy Your Desk
  4. Clean out the Car
  5. Put Things Back Where they Belong

Craig blogs about time management and it’s very helpful!

Joseph Lalonde: Become a Beacon of Hope

by Leave a Comment

It’s so easy to confuse leadership with management. They overlap, certainly. But they don’t always happen together.

Management is essentially getting things done, getting people to do the right things, and making sure the job gets accomplished. It’s a good, worthy goal.

Leadership, on the other hand, includes some qualities much harder to quantify. Leadership often means giving hope.

Joseph Lalonde writes about this…

Getting things done and advancing is critical to being seen as a good leader. Leaders are people who move others to the next stage of life.

However, that’s not where leadership stops. And you’ll have challenges getting your people to that next stage if you’re missing something.

Leaders run into trouble when they fail to give people hope.

…

You have to be the beacon of hope that shows them there’s still more to come.

Joseph talks about how to do this as well.
