Remember

December 12, 2024 bobturner Daily Leadership, saltJournal 0 Comments

Tying a string around our finger does not really help. Mental exercises are often prescribed to assist, but few follow through because they forget. The older we get the more difficult it becomes to remember.

What can we do to help us remember? Leaders, we must connect to this need.

The writer of Hebrews instructs us to remember those who led us. Certainly, there is a need for leaders to remember also.

Remember there is accountability.

Remember souls are at stake.

Remember nothing is more vital to the development of God’s kingdom than leading.

Little Things

While it may not sound like much, remembering someone’s name and greeting them is important.

Little things are like that, they make a big difference.

“I’m not good with names” is a common excuse. However, we remember what is important to us.

If we want to make a difference, someone’s name is important. There is power in remembering something as simple as a name.

Carry a pad and write down their name.
Repeat their name in the conversation.
Afterwards, make a note about them to associate with their name.

It’s the little things that make a difference.

Sticky Leadership…

January 28, 2021 bobturner Daily Leadership, saltJournal 0 Comments

Authors, Chip and Dan Heath, wrote Made To Stick.

It raises two questions. Why are some books, articles, people or situations remembered vividly, while others are forgotten? Why do we remember one situation so easily and readily forget others?

Leaders need to learn how to communicate the message, vision, and goals in ways that are sticky, helping others easily remember them along the journey.

The six ideas shared by the Heath’s indicate that when the communication is simple, unexpected, concrete, credible, emotional, and built in story format, people tend to remember. Give it a try.

Scars to Remember…

April 20, 2020 bobturner Daily Leadership, Uncategorized 0 Comments

Most people have scars, maybe the result of surgery, an accident, or some foolish activity. At times we have emotional, mental, and spiritual scars left for the same reasons.

What do scars leave behind?

First, they remind us of what created the scar.
Second, scars remind us of physical, emotional or spiritual pain.
Third, scars show the incredible wisdom and power of God.
Fourth, scars remind us to be cautious about developing future scars.

However, the greatest reminder for leaders involves those left in the hands and feet of our Savior. These scars should always remind us of what our leadership is all about.

Involved = Learning…

One of the greatest lessons for learning comes from Ben Franklin, “Tell me and I forget, teach me and I may remember, involve me and I learn.”

No matter what age group, this thought has application.

Leadership in the home means we must involve children so they learn.

Educational leaders must involve students if they are to learn.

As spiritual leaders within the church, we must know the value of this thought if we are to help the church move from complacency and apathy to learning.

When it comes to an application of biblical principles, involve people in ways that result in learning.

Remembering Our Leadership…

We do not have the space to explore all the ways our mind works, or how much of the brain remains untapped.

It is fascinating just to think about the ability we have to remember. Spiritual leaders must consider that people remember what they see longer than what they hear. Therefore, how will our leadership be remembered?

Will it be remembered for our words or actions?
Will it be remembered for being a servant?

Leadership illuminates our lives and, sadly, our lives are lived under a microscope. 

Before we speak or act, it is worth the time to consider how we want our leadership will be remembered.
