Are you a followable leader? A followable leader has people who want to follow. They inspire followers to join them on a journey and they develop loyalty from their team. Ask yourself: Do people want to follow my lead? Why would they want to follow me? The best example I know of a followable leader is Jesus. Let’s consider some of the reasons He was able to develop such loyalty among the people He led.

Let’s consider the heart of a leader. Someone asked me recently what I primarily look for in the hiring of a staff position. I said, without reservation, first and foremost, I look for a heart. I want a hear that honors Christ more than self, that desires to grow and learn, and that is willing to sacrifice personal privilege for benevolent purpose of others.

I’ll be honest. I’m not a huge fan of policies. It may be because I’m not a very good rule follower, but I honestly don’t think they work as well as they are intended. Policies are a course, plan or principle of action. They are designed to offer a sense of control. In theory, policies are to make things better. They are a necessary part of dealing with people in an organizational setting.

When I started in the insurance business, I made hundreds of cold calls. I got accustomed to rejection. It still hurt sometimes, but I learned it was a natural part of successful selling. No one likes rejection. Your proposal. Your product. Your presentation. You love it. You believe in it. You want it to go forward. How could anyone reject what you’ve put your heart into?

What do you do when life is uncertain? Trust – God has a plan even when you can’t discern it. Faith is being certain when life is uncertain; believing when you cannot see. It’s much harder to worry when you are trusting. Psalm 56:3, Proverbs 3:5, Jeremiah 17:7. Pray – Ask God for discernment and clarity, but also for patience.

Sometimes I try to kill my own ideas. Especially with an idea that has major consequences for change and potential. I brought it to the table. I believe in it. I want it to happen. I got people excited about it. I energized the team. Now I’m attempting to kill it. I’m trying to find holes in the idea. I am questioning the validity of the idea.
