Loyalty

March 25, 2025 bobturner Daily Leadership, saltJournal 0 Comments

Businesses offer a rain check for out-of-stock merchandise. The benefit helps build loyalty between the customer and business.

Loyalty is one of the most vital characteristics of leadership. How do we build the kind of loyalty needed in leadership?

Demonstrate trust: We must trust in God and also learn to trust in others.

Develop consistency and integrity: Without these, loyalty will be impossible.

Dedication: We must be dedicated to God, others, and reaching the goal.

These are only a few steps, but if we take them we can build a solid foundation for loyalty.

Respect

Respect is often a two-way street, but the challenge involves earning respect.

A few simple ideas can help leaders approach this subject with greater success.

Be dedicated to the Lord: Focus on Christ and make the souls of others a priority.

Be consistent: Posner and Kouzes say, “The video needs to match the audio.”

Love people: A deeper understanding of love might help us understand why it covers a multitude of sins.

We could argue whether respect is earned or demanded. However, applying a few simple principles to our leadership will answer the questions.

The Missing Link

January 13, 2025 bobturner Daily Leadership, saltJournal 0 Comments

What do organizations need to receive champion status?

They must be a team. People must work together for a common purpose to win.

They must be dedicated. When the goal is clear, people are committed, and plans are executed properly, victory awaits.

There must be ability. Combining one’s role with their ability encourages everyone involved.

There must be leadership. Teamwork, dedication, and ability are not enough. People need leadership.

Spiritually, we are a team that is dedicated and abounding in ability. We need spiritual leaders to step up and provide the missing link.

Practice Makes Perfect

Regardless of the application, the idea is to do something over and over again, until perfect.

Olympic athletes are trained from a young age. Drills, routines, and exercises are perfected through hours of practice every day. Their life is dedicated to one purpose: perform perfectly without yielding to pressure.

Doing, action, application, and preparation are all terms associated with practice. This is no longer about theory, but method. Details are worked out for implementation.

Developing the ability to lead is a work in progress.

We need to be focused, dedicated, diligent, and steadfast to the one purpose we are called to do, and lead others in that cause.

Excellence

Developing a mindset focused on the pursuit of excellence involves a couple of ideas.

Dedication: Any pursuit in life requires dedication, and this is true of excellence. The task is not easy, but worth it.

Take 5: Build a routine that sets aside five minutes everyday to focus on an area of excellence.

Read, read, read…listen, listen, listen: This one stands alone!

Rule of the last 10%: Too many get to 90% and coast to the finish line. Excellence requires finishing well.

Develop the habit: Aristotle said, “We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence is not an act. It is a habit.”

Committed Leaders

Occasionally, life will knock us down. We may get knocked down a few more times than we think is our share.

However, are we committed enough to keep getting up no matter how many times we get knocked down?

David McNally claims, “Commitment is the enemy of resistance, for it is the serious promise to press on, to get up, no matter how many times you are knocked down.”

When we are committed we are motivated.
When we are committed we have dedication.
When we are committed we keep our focus.
When we are committed we will stop at nothing.

Until Death

October 11, 2023 bobturner Daily Leadership, saltJournal 0 Comments

It is significant to notice the reward stated by Jesus given to those who hold true to their dedication and commitment.

In several areas of life, even leadership, when difficulties arise, change, distractions, interruptions, or a failure to measure up to our expectations, our culture looks for the bail out.

Consider the difference that could be made if we all honored our commitments.

Can we imagine the lives we could change by having hearts with such dedication?

There is much to be said for men and women who build on a foundation defined by these two words…until death!

Planning for Success

May 18, 2023 bobturner Daily Leadership, saltJournal 0 Comments

We’ve all heard that “those who fail to plan, plan to fail.”

Success and quality are the results of intentionality and planning with a dedication to persevere.

When a plan is in place, foresight has already formulated direction for those unexpected or untimely challenges.

This does not mean we will never have to deal with challenges, but if we negotiate a plan before we are in them, we know better how to handle those times.

Leading requires a plan. This is more significant when the spiritual application is connected. Whatever time is given to develop a good plan, it will produce success and quality.

Committed Leaders

How committed are you? David McNally says, “Commitment is the enemy of resistance, for it is the serious promise to press on, to get up, no matter how many times you are knocked down.”

Are we committed enough to get up no matter how many times we get knocked down?

When we are committed we oppose resistance.
When we are committed we are motivated.
When we are committed we have dedication.
When we are committed we keep our focus.
When we are committed we will stop at nothing.

Nothing is more deserving of our commitment than the cause of Jesus.

Generous Leaders

August 22, 2022 bobturner Daily Leadership, saltJournal 0 Comments

Leaders should exemplify generosity. Leadership is built on giving our time, energy, money, emotions, and ability.

When leaders demonstrate generosity, others learn the value of the gift. However, our generosity must be checked.

Intention: What is the motive behind our gift?

Object: What is the object of our generosity? Work? Family? Church? Lord?

Planned dedication: Is there a planned purpose?

Action: Are we ready to start giving?

Self-examination: What are we losing by holding on to it?

What suits our giving? Do we give what is left over, easy and convenient, or is our generosity suited by the best?
