Changing Behavior

October 16, 2024 bobturner Daily Leadership, saltJournal 0 Comments

The challenge of changing one’s behavior involves areas that motivate each individual. As I learned in a conversation with a friend, “In order to change what people do, you have to change what people want.

Perhaps we need to consider what it is that people want: to feel loved, needed, wanted, and a sense of belong.

When leaders touch on these areas, people will follow with their actions.

If it looks like no one is motivated to follow your lead, then maybe you should evaluate what and how you appeal to their wants.

Nothing is more comforting than the thought of going home after being away.

A place where one lives permanently is significant to the nature of home. However, it is the defining qualities of home that make the difference.

While permanent, what makes it special is belonging to a family. Home is the place where we are accepted.

On earth, the church should provide the same expression of home. I am not referring to the physical structure where the church meets, but the value of relationships that bring us together as a family, where we belong and we are accepted.

P B and J

Growing up, I knew what was on the menu when mom said, “P B and J.” A peanut butter and jelly sandwich seemed to speak of a healthy lunch, the perfect combination of protein and carbohydrates.

From a leadership perspective, P B and J carries another important thought.

Promise: Leaders hold promise for a better tomorrow.

Belonging: Leaders make it possible for others to belong, the security of a stable environment.

Journey: Success is not about a destination, it is the journey. Make it rich.

The next time you hear P B and J, maybe you can remember the leadership connection.
