Month: January 2020

Successful Leadership…

We are told that we influence a minimum of four people everyday. Kenneth Blanchard said, “The key to successful leadership today is influence, not authority.”

But, what kind of influence are we exercising?

We need to guard our influence because it effects the character, behavior, and development of others. Our influence can either be good or bad. 

If we have opportunity to influence others by bringing them to Christ, or influence Christians in faithfulness, should we not do so?

The time we have on earth is limited and fleeting. Each day that passes can never be regained or relived. Now is the best opportunity to ensure our influence for Christ.

Now What?

Now that the festivities of Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s are behind us, we consider “Now What?”

For some, it is back to the norm. Back to the grind. For others, it is time to focus on the vision. Fulfill our goals.

No matter which side we find ourselves, leadership demands we grow. We continue to work on ourselves, improve our ability to connect with others, and influence the lives of each person God beautiful orchestrates into our lives.

As a reminder, 2020 is the perfect year to focus on where we are headed and who we plan to become. 

Make this the best year EVER.

Happy New Year

From all of us at SALT

HAPPY NEW YEAR

May this be the best year of your life in relationship to God
and your service within the Kingdom.

saltCast 007 – Zero-Sum Outcome in Conflict

Zero-Sum Outcome in Conflict: As we continue to discuss conflict and conflict resolution, Brandi Kendall discusses the difficulties related to reaching a zero-sum outcome, or equality, in resolving conflict. Brandi comes full circle as he talks about distance and damage in relation to a zero-sum theology as we approach conflict. Sharing biblical principles, the discussion highlights how Jesus taught the value of this thought in relationship to conflict resolution.
