Dr Samual Chand called this session 'Transitions - In the meantime' This was the Leadership selective session. (very summarised as he spoke for 1 hour) Enjoy.
Leadership involves change he asked the question;
"Have you outgrown the place you are in?" Its important that you handle the 'meantime' of your life well.
Ambiguity in life leads us into a 'fog' and this can be a dangerous place. Its important we emerge with a clear direction for our lives / clear understanding of who we are in God and where we are going in God.
Some of the dangers of the meantime:
Complacency not being aware of the timing & seasons of life.
Distraction the tyranny of the urgent over the necessary
Frustration letting negative emotions eat us up & rule our spirit
Competition thinking that we are competing vs complementing each other
Doubt allowing unbelief to rob us of our future blessing
Dr Chand gives us a formula for success:
Preparation + opportunity = success
As leaders he advised us to continue our growth and preparation at all times / God will bring the opportunity so we can trust him in the 'meantimes' of life.
He suggested that every leader should go through a radical reinvention of themselves every 10 years. This may involve a brutal self & peer assessment / commitment to change / re consecration to God.
He spoke about our relationships in life as being primary, as leaders can get fixated on task / goals and neglect the very thing that is most important PEOPLE & RELATIONSHIPS
He says leaders should always be cultivating new relationships and maintaining existing ones:
Dr Chands suggestions for the 'open' leader
- Send emails / SMS / letters / cards to people
- Be open to the 'lobby' or random encounter
May God bless you and strengthen you to do your 'meantime' well!
Ps Rhett
