A PATHWAY TO LEADERSHIP. Dr Paul Taylor

A PATHWAY TO LEADERSHIP. Dr Paul Taylor 

I want to encourage you with 4 things that create a pathway to leadership.  

These are not my words.  I have taken them from a podcast that I listen to for the organization BNI that I would love to introduce to Burundi, but it has not happened yet.  

These 4 things are critical to the pathway to leadership and I believe many of you are doing them to some extent already.

 *Be solution focused, not problem focused. *

Remember you are the solution to someone’s problem.  

Everything God has created has been with purpose and that includes you!  

Be an expert at solving problems with solutions and you will create wealth and happiness.  This requires vision, which uses your HEART, not your EYES!  Your eyes see the problem, your heart sees the solution!

*Collaborate. * 

Work together with others.  I see how you work as a team.  It is amazing.  Collaboration is a forced multiplier.  It means you can accomplish more together than you can a part!  In the Bible, with God one can set to flight a thousand, two 10 thousand!  It is called synergy!  The sum of the parts is greater than the whole!  Working together with others will multiply your efforts exponentially.

*Be a champion of Culture. * 

Culture eats strategy for breakfast!  Culture is how you do your business.  How you treat others along the way.  It includes your Vision, Mission, Core Values.  In essence, it is who you are!  Who you are is always more important than what you do!  

Culture includes why we do what we do!  It will guarantee success no matter what the outcome is.  Remember what Josimar Salum wrote, do the right thing and God will take care of the rest.  

We must always have a Christ Culture!  Do unto others as we would have them do unto us!

*Care about the success of others!  * 

People do not care what we have to say until they know that we care about them!  

When we put the success of others before ourselves, then we will be successful!  

Remember “I believe in you!”  Our actions should shout these words to others.  People need to know that we believe in them!  

I believe you are doing all of these things.  Why?  

Because true leadership is when we help people accomplish more than they thought possible!  

You are doing more today than I believe you ever thought was possible.  

We have only just begun!  Keep up the great work.  I am so proud of each of you.  Share this with others and let them know how proud of them you are.
