CIA

This is not referring to the Central Intelligence Agency.

For our purposes, CIA stands for Consistency In Action. When leaders demonstrate consistency others have an example worth following.

Jesus constantly addressed the problem of inconsistency demonstrated by religious leaders. 

Among other areas, their inconsistency was seen in giving, prayer, and fasting. Their worship was worthless. Their lips moved in the right direction, but their heart went in the opposite direction. 

Jesus condemned them because their actions did not align with their teaching.

If we lead with CIA, our influence will reach greater heights.

ROFL

Initials are used everywhere. One of the most familiar is PC. Interestingly, these initials represent several ideas from “politically correct” to “personal computer.”

Organizations are often identified by initials: CIA, FBI, UPS, USPS, and many more.

Positions within most organizations support the use of initials: CEO, CFO, EVP, VP and list goes on.

The texting world also works on the basis of initials: ROFL, LOL, Np, Ty, Yw and, again, the list is unending.

I like a modified take on this one: ROFL – Resist Obstacles Facilitating Lethargy. Leaders cannot afford to become lethargic. A sluggish and apathetic mindset will hinder growth.
