Les Steckel, the President and CEO of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, is a former officer in the United States Marine Corps and a former head coach in the National Football League. He recently addressed our church staff on the topic of leadership in ministry. Here is some of what he shared:
Ministry is "people business".
How can you lead if you don't know what your values are?
Practice "HOT" (Honest, Open and Transparent) communication. Leave egos at the door.
5 Leadership Qualities to Build a Championship Team-
1. Communication: How do you express how you really care?
2. Cooperation: Integrity, Teamwork, Serving, Excellence
3. Contribution: Everyone wants to make a contribution
4. Commitment: Promises are for losers; commitments are for winners
5. Christ: Christ must always be in the center
Be on time. If you are one minute late, you are wasting our time. If you are one minute early, you are wasting your own time.
Three things we all crave: attention, affirmation, affection.
John Holland, an executive at Fruit of the Loom, had this definition for "self-discipline": doing what you don't want to do
The most depressing statement: "If I had to do it over again....". We must realize the importance of living every day for Christ.
