Questions to Consider

April 16, 2026 bobturner Daily Leadership, saltJournal 0 Comments

When do we start a project and when will it be completed?
How will the project benefit others?
Why is this project important?
How do we determine the cost to complete the project?
When will we make time to work on the project?
Who knows about the project and how do others learn about it?
How can we maintain enthusiasm for the project?
Can the project potentially distract us from important matters in life?

Our projects can help or hinder our leadership. If we are not asking the right questions, we may be unaware of how they affect our relationship with others.

Important or Urgent?

August 13, 2025 bobturner Daily Leadership, saltJournal 0 Comments

In spiritual leadership, matters of importance are usually set aside for what appears urgent. It is often referred to as the “tyranny of the urgent.”

These matters become a distraction, often in the form of emails, texts, phone calls, PMs, and more.

We place immediacy, a sense of urgency, prioritizing these less important matters when, in reality, they are not important.

When we examine our spiritual leadership, what is important or urgent? What requires our immediate attention and action? Do these matters distract or aid us in what is most important?

We need to take what is truly important and make it urgent!

Great Work

June 23, 2025 bobturner Daily Leadership, saltJournal 0 Comments

As spiritual leaders, we need to love what we do, knowing the benefits for the life to come.

We need to believe and know this is a great work!

Steve Jobs once said, “Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking. Don’t settle.”

The work is far too valuable and important to do just enough to get by, the bare minimum.

This is God’s work. Let us love it, live it, and invest our lives into it.

Lessons from a Sticky Note Pad…

September 27, 2019 bobturner Daily Leadership, Uncategorized 0 Comments

On most desks is a small “sticky note” pad.

However, the nature of the sticky note provides several good lessons for leadership.

They are reminders of something important. If it is important, it is worth writing down.

They can be placed in any location. Leadership is not limited to the building. 

Once they stick, they are still there the next day. Good leaders hold on even when the road is difficult. 

They come in a variety of sizes and colors. No cookie cutter approach exists for finding leaders.

Lessons from a sticky note pad – our leadership might still be around tomorrow as a reminder of something important.
