Responsibility

September 15, 2025 bobturner Daily Leadership, saltJournal 0 Comments

Leadership involves responsibility. Several have said, “The greater the responsibility, the fewer the rights.”

We live in a culture where taking responsibility is not a common practice. We could also say we live in a culture where the common practice is one of blaming others.

Quality leaders seek responsibility and take responsibility for their actions.

Leaders give credit to the team when there is victory, but take full responsibility when there is a defeat.

Rarely do we find such integrity and leadership. Yet, when we do, influence grows. The result? People follow!

Stretching

The value of stretching cannot be overstated. Stretching aids the overall recovery of muscles used in exercise or work.

By definition, stretching is the ability to make longer and wider without tearing or breaking.

The best approach is to stretch a little at a time, hold for a few seconds, and relax. Repetition allows for the development of flexibility and relief.

When leaders stretch with regards to vision, goals, and the development of a team, the results bring recovery, growth, strength, and flexibility. Repeating the process increases the benefit.

Stretching is one way to develop quality leaders.

Leadership Greatness

August 11, 2025 bobturner Daily Leadership, saltJournal 0 Comments

Leadership is often viewed as influencing and instilling greatness in others. However, true leadership brings out the greatness already inside of them?

John Buchan said, “The task of leadership is not to put greatness into people, but to elicit it, for the greatness is there already.”

Consider how we can achieve this:

Believe people have greatness within. 
Arrange opportunities to be responsible and accountable.
Allow them to fail.
Provide support when they do.
Create a team atmosphere.

These are just five suggestions, but when applied, they highlight leadership greatness.

Teamwork

Growing up in Mammoth Spring, Arkansas, basketball court practices were filled with efforts by players who coveted a starting position on the team.

We learned leadership based on teamwork. These memories laid a foundation for understanding spiritual leadership where the same is true, a leadership based on teamwork.

Leadership is often viewed as a lonely position. This is not true in relationship to spiritual leadership.

We are a team. We must work together as a team. If we are going to change the world, we need Christ and we need each other!

We should all strive to get involved on this team?

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.

Team

January 6, 2023 bobturner Daily Leadership, saltJournal 0 Comments

A leader is one who leads a team in one form or another.

The benefits to leading and working together as a team cannot be listed in one post, but here are a few to consider.

1) More work can be achieved more quickly.
2) Each person on the team can focus on using their abilities.
3) Everyone can use their abilities more efficiently.
4) Ideas are abundant when several work together.
5) Opportunities for encouragement are greater.

Within the church it takes those who specialize in cooking, cleaning, teaching, preaching, singing, praying, serving, shepherding, and the list goes on.

When everyone works together the result is growth!

Collaborative Leaders

October 6, 2021 bobturner Daily Leadership, saltJournal 0 Comments

Working together to produce or create something defines collaboration.

Leadership is characterized by numerous qualities, principles, and ideas for developing others to lead. Sadly, leaders often feel they must “go it alone.”

We also find that leaders who fail or refuse to work with others, choosing to work alone, suffer both physiologically and psychologically.

When Solomon said “two are better than one…and a cord of three strands is not quickly broken,” he lays down a principle that supports collaboration.

When leaders work together and promote working together as a team, God will give an increase that lasts eternally.

Team Leadership…

May 19, 2020 bobturner Daily Leadership, Uncategorized 0 Comments

A narcissistic leader creates destruction. When leaders constantly use ‘I’ in reference to their own abilities, achievements, or plans, influence is lost.

Peter F. Drucker claims, “The leaders who work most effectively, it seems to me, never say ‘I’. And that’s not because they have trained themselves not to say ‘I’. They don’t think ‘I’. They think ‘we’; they think ‘team’. They understand their job to be to make the team function. They accept responsibility and don’t sidestep it, but ‘we’ gets the credit…. This is what creates trust, what enables you to get the task done.”

Nothing could be more powerful for spiritual leaders than learning to live by this thought.

Leading a Team…

A leader is one who leads a team in one form or another. 

The benefits of working as a team cannot be listed in one post, but here are a few.

1) Work is achieved more quickly.

2) Everyone uses their abilities more efficiently.

3) Ideas are abundant.

4) Opportunities for encouragement are greater. 

In construction, people who specialize in foundations, plumbing, framing, sheet rock, painting, trimming, and interior design are all needed to complete the project.

The same is true in the church. It takes those who cook, clean, teach, preach, sing, pray, serve, shepherd, and the list goes on.

When everyone works together, the result is growth!
