The longer we lead, the more distant we can become from those we lead. We forget what it was like to be in their position. Some may have never been in a leadership position before. There’s plenty more that we need to remember as we lead. We have to be mindful of these things, or we will quickly become irrelevant (in the eyes of our team), distant, and angry.

A job is not a forever position. Throughout your life, you will have multiple jobs. The current tenure for a job is right around the 5 year mark. This job stat means you will likely have 6 or more jobs in a 30-year career. That’s a lot of jobs! However, it is the reality these days. Gone are the 30-year career and then retirement. People change jobs frequently!

As people come onto your team, they put their trust in you. They believe you are going to lead them in the right direction. Maybe even help them achieve their dreams. Sadly, too many leaders believe their people are there to work for them and them alone. They shackle them with golden handcuffs or maybe they beat them down with unkind words. These leaders are not dream releasers.

Deconstruction is a hot topic button in the world of faith. Many prominent faith leaders are coming to terms that the people they’ve led are reexamining the world they believed in. More than that, many leaders of the faith have begun to deconstruct what they’ve come to believe. For those that don’t know what deconstruction is, a simple definition may be: The systematic pulling apart of one’s belief system for examination.
