  4 Things You Can Do Today:

Identify my leadership dark side and do something to combat it today

• Too competitive, prideful, hesitant?
• Fear of lack- not having enough- Then give more.
• Nervous about a neighboring church: Drop off an offering
• Nervous/insecure? Ask 3 people to speak bluntly into your life
• God’s key blessing in your ministry/life may come through your dark side

Create Artificial Deadlines- put limits on time

• Ex: Video team- can spend 100’s of hours on a project- tell them they have 15 hours
• Shorter, purposeful days can be more productive
• Can create white space, think time- spiritual growth

Delegate what someone else can do

• Don’t delegate responsibilities- delegate authority
• Responsibilities creates followers, authority creates leaders
• If you don’t delegate authority, you won’t attract great leaders
• High control- low growth Low control- high growth
• A little bit of chaos is worth it

Do something only You Can Do

• You’re the only one who can:
• Care for yourself
• Recharging activities
• Take time off
• Spending time with God
• Eating right and exercising
• Honoring God in private ways
• Be a husband to your wife or a Dad/Mom to your kids
• Pride leads to thinking I’m the only one who can do something
• Poor leadership leads to inability to delegate and build new leaders around me
• Balance is not realistic- but plan recovery time on the backside of a stressful period
