Ego Led Leaders
Ego is a challenge for leaders and can manifest as either too much or too little. Our brains are adept at adapting to protect us and this can lead to overcompensation in leadership roles.
Humility is Key to Leadership
Humility is more important than confidence when it comes to leadership. Admitting that you are not confident and taking a step out of faith is key to success. Humility is the central element of servant leadership and successful leaders have done amazing things with it.
Leadership Comes From Within
Leadership is not about a set of actions, it's about heart. It comes from within and has to come out. Good leadership is not about language or outward behaviors, it's about connecting with people and being authentic. It's simple but not easy to love God and others.
Ownership and Responsibility
Bo discusses the idea of success and ownership, how it is not one-dimensional, understanding what is in our control and what is not, and using our influence to help others achieve desired outcomes.
Taking Responsibility for Tough Decisions
Making tough decisions requires prayer, wise counsel, and scenario planning to mitigate potential negative impacts. Leaders must be prepared to own their decisions and communicate with employees throughout the process.
Biblical Definition of Success
Spreading the gospel and sharing the love of Jesus with all people. Christian CEOs add elements to this definition, but must examine motives.
Ministry in Business Context
Businesses can use their funds and resources to serve the community, but true Ministry starts with employees, customers, and vendors. Business can become an idol that takes away from family.
