Things I learned at Leadership Live day 1

This has been an amazing 24 hours so far. I told Susie last night it is hard to put into words everything that i have learned.  But I thought I would put down a few of the highlights from yesterday.

  • The most dangerous person on your team is not the one who opposes you it is the one who is just out of alignment
  • people follow for a variety of reasons
some because of your marriage
some because of your education 
some because of you life stage

  • people will watch how I handle conflict 
  • people will leave for as many reasons as they came to you church
  • team will out perform individuals every time
  • Every leader must get a stranglehold on what they are not good at
  • where you step today will be where you stand tomorrow so make sure you are careful where you step
  • The easier the product is to access the more people will utilize it 
This is how to get your volunteers to reproduce what you want
  • people model what gets noticed
  • people model what get celebrated
  • What get celebrated and noticed gets replicated
Well there are a few things from day one it has been incredible so far I cannot wait to learn more today.  Here is what I think is the most amazing thing about the SMT at Granger they are just real guys who are doing ministry together and want to help others.  They are approachable.  WOW that is a huge difference from other SMT's of other large churches.

More later.
