Tom's Thoughts

Wednesday Sept. 30, 2020   Henry Ford’s vision was to get cars into the people’s hands by having it available to the average American worker.  He was extremely successful.  However, there is a story that Maxwell tells when workers surprised Ford by making some modifications on his Model T car.  The story is told that Ford saw the car, ripped the doors off the hinges and destroyed the entire car with his bare hands.   He didn’t want anyone modifying his car. What can we learn from this story about Henry Ford and the Law of Empowerment? Click below for the you tube video link: https://youtu.be/2FAq92gSi4w

  Wednesday Sept. 16, 2020- Law of Priority As a leader, we want to keep moving and keep busy, but sometimes, we need to slow down and say no to the good to say yes to the great. That is where the law of priority challenges us. Maxwell says…. “When we are busy, we naturally believe that we are achieving. But busyness does not equal productivity.” (pg. 207) How can we practice the law of priority in our lives as a leader in the church? https://youtu.be/QY-PexNH5WA

  Wednesday September 9 Thanks for watching another week of our leadership blog, where we are learning to be better leaders by looking at God's Word.   Today we discuss the Law of Influence.  We each have influence- the opportunity to point people towards a direction.  The question today is, where is your influence leading people towards?

  I hope this Wednesday has been a great one.  This week in our leadership discussion we are going to be looking at our inner circle.  In reality, we can only really pour into a handful of people and do it well.  This week we are looking to the example of Jesus and how He poured into three people- Peter, James, and John.   Who are your handful of people you are pouring into?
