F or those of you who have children, you know there’s a special day every parent anticipates and dreads. It’s a day of great joy. It’s a day of great fear. That day? The day your child takes his or her first small step. You sit back and cheer him on. You tell him he’s doing great. Just a little bit further. He only needs to take a baby step for you to have your world change.

T hose looking for blogging advice are often told that they need to blog consistently. You need to create a blogging schedule and stick to the schedule. So, you dutifully go about creating content on a regular basis. You feel great. Until you hit the point where blogging feels like work. Hard work, at that. I know. Because I’ve been there. And I’m there right now.

E very leader wants to see their organizations become successful. There’s a problem that comes along with success: Complacency. That’s when you reach a level of self-satisfaction accompanied by unawareness of actual dangers or deficiencies. You no longer feel that urgent need to be on top of things. This is a scary place to be. You’re satisfied with where you are.

O ne of the best ways that I’ve found to experience exponential growth is through attending conferences and workshops. There, you are able to hear from thought leaders in your areas of interest. Listening and seeing the speakers are only one part of the experience. And probably the least productive way to grow. Image by Jim Lupack. My personal experience has been that there’s only so much I can take in from long sessions of speakers.

E ven the best leaders know that they have to follow someone else. Whether that’s the company CEO, shareholders, the church board of directors, or some other person in leadership, we ALL answer to other leaders. That’s why I love looking at the leaders I enjoy reading and following. Being able to reflect on the reasons I admire these leaders opens my eyes to the qualities of great leadership.
