How to stand out when no-one's watching

I have had 2 very contrasting weeks.

last week our boss was away and although I tried to persevere, the rest of my team didn't show a great attitude, I found myself getting sucked into their sucky attitudes and tempted to provide the same level of service.

This week after our boss came back and set the record straight, their attitudes and behaviours came to light. - enough said.

This got me thinking if you don't keep a check on your attitude, your performance is going to suffer.
even in the hard times when it seems like no-one is watching you and no-one cares, keep persevering because one day everything will come out into the light, and your behaviour and attitudes will be assessed, maybe by your peers, maybe by your boss or your leader, definitely  by God.

just like Nemo, keep on swimming, even if it feels like you are going against the tide and one day you will reach your goal.

21st Century church

My brother in law and his girlfriend are visiting from California and discussed their church problems with me, like the pastor doesn't care how we lead our ministry, people church hopping and nobody wants to lead in their student ministry. This got me thinking the church is the bride of Christ so maybe she needs as 21st century style makeover. The church should be the most attractive place to be on the earth, whether you are in Scotland or USA or anywhere. This means for us; when our kids come in on a Sunday we have the wii playing, we have an inflatable football pitch but more importantly we have leaders who care about every child who walks into the room, we have the teaching of the word in a way that is relevant and fun for our kids, we have leaders investing gold into our kids. we have a spirit of excellence not convenience.

Welcome

Welcome to my blog,  I have come to understand the importance of building, not just up but also down. building up to connect with leaders who are ahead of me, like David Wakerley or Jim Wideman. learning from them so I can build my leadership and grow my influence to lead. I also believe in building down, sowing into the net generation of leaders and encouraging them to flourish in the gifts God has given them.
