Spiritual Leadership

The leadership development interview with Scott Young of the Influencers Podcast went nothing like the pre-show conversation I had with Dave Donaldson! Yet, our conversation about Next-Gen and Millennial leadership spotlighted important insights. This is how Scott promotes our conversation:
  • Desperate for a change in leadership?
  • For someone you can trust?
  • Someone with clarity, character, and competence?
  • What if the leader that needs changing is you?

My latest leadership development series focuses on gratitude. Count your blessings! Yes, we all know we need to be grateful for all the good things in our lives. But what about those times when the “bad” seems to outnumber the “good?” That’s when it takes grit to be grateful! And these days, it looks like we need loads of grit.

A negative mindset is unhealthy for any leader. A toxic Criticize, Condemn and Complain Culture sabotages your ability to achieve your goals and dreams.  It saps vital spiritual, motivational, and emotional energy.  A healthy Leadership Mindset is needed to confront this cancer.
    • Criticism saps your strength. You begin doubting that you have the leadership skills to overcome your challenges, even when you’ve been successful before.
    • Condemnation creates confusion about your vision, values, and virtues.
    • Complaining crushes your creativity. You lack the creativity and growth mindset to see new opportunities.
