Lifelong Learning for Leaders
The ultimate competitive advantage lies in an organization's ability to learn and rapidly transform that learning into action.
Leadership is an art based on simplicity. A vision has no point if it is not understood.
"Leadership is an art based on simplicity."
Pastor Dean Sweetman
Plans must be simple.
If plans are complicated, and too complex, people fail to see the picture.
The leader must present what people can see!
In a world of 'too much information', you must give simple, clear vision, goals and plans.
The trumpet must be clear for people to respond.
Write, rewrite, and rewrite until you know the message will be clear.
A vision has no point if it is not understood.
A vision is futile if we don't communicate it all the time.
John Wesley practiced preaching to the maids. If they couldn't understand his words or message, what was the point?
Be Blessed,

But we do not do it alone. If we trust him, if we place our faith in Jesus, he will be with us and he will empower us to do his work – he will make it possible for us to put our faith into action."
