  5. The Global Leadership Summit

  6. The Global Leadership Summit A Leadership Reality “…the success of the organizational changes is dependent on leadership. As difficult as organizational change can be, leadership change is exponentially more challenging. Leadership often is the slowest to change in response to environmental and organizational demands.” Source: Weiss, D.S., & Molinaro, V. (2005). The leadership Gap..

  8. LEADERSHIP IN 60 SECONDS

  9. The Global Leadership Summit THE 60 SECOND PhD IN LEADERSHIP Think back to the best and worst leader you ever had. • Make a list of all the things done to you that you abhorred. • DON’T DO THEM TO OTHERS. EVER. • Make a list of all the things done to you that you love. • DO THEM TO OTHERS. ALWAYS. • Pray deeply and act with justice, mercy and humility. • DO LISTEN AND LOVE AND LEAD. • THEN BE AS WILLING TO FOLLOW AS YOU ARE TO LEAD! And just think, you thought leadership was complicated. Source: Dee Hock, founder of USA (points 5-7 adapted ) in The 60 Second Leader, Phil Dourado

  10. FIVE POWER PRINCIPLES FOR SDA LEADERS

  11. The Global Leadership Summit

  12. PRINCIPLE ONE: READINESS QUOTIENT

  13. The Global Leadership Summit A Leadership Model "And if thou [Solomon] wilt walk in My ways, to keep My statutes and My commandments, as thy father David did walk, then I will lengthen thy days." 1 Kings 3:5-14; 2 Chronicles1:7-12. Source: Ellen White, Patriarchs and Prophets, 30-31.

  14. The Global Leadership Summit Those who today occupy positions of trust should seek to learn the lesson taught by Solomon's prayer. The higher the position a man occupies, the greater the responsibility that he has to bear, the wider will be the influence that he exerts and the greater his need of dependence on God. Ever should he remember that with the call to work comes the call to walk circumspectly before his fellow men. He is to stand before God in the attitude of a learner. Position does not give holiness of character. It is by honoring God and obeying His commands that a man is made truly great.

  15. PRINCIPLE TWO: ATTITUDE PERSPECTIVE

  16. The Global Leadership Summit Blah, Blah, Blah

  17. The Global Leadership Summit

  18. PRINCIPLE THREE: MEDIUM PLATFORM

  19. “A noble character is not the result of accident; it is not due to special favors or endowments of Providence. It is the result of self-discipline, of subjection of the lower to the higher nature, of the surrender of self to the service of God and man. “The body is a most important medium through which the mind and the soul are developed for the upbuilding of character. Hence it is that the adversary of souls directs his temptations to the enfeebling and degrading of the physical powers.” Ellen White, Conflict and Courage, 249

  20. Correct eating is vital. We are what we eat. Modern man has neglected this very important feature of healthful living. This neglect has resulted in much disease. Brisk walking daily for at least 20 minutes is the best exercise. This is needed on the inside – about six glasses a day between meals. And on the outside – bathing or showering regularly We do not need more than several minutes a day, but it is vital. True temperance is moderation in that which is good, and total abstinence in that which is harmful. It is good to breathe deeply in the open air. It is equally important to get adequate rest. The batteries must be recharged. Most sicknesses originate in a disturbed mind. The relationship between a troubled mind and a diseased body is real. When we trust God we experience peace of mind.
