18 “Golden Nuggets” from our Marketplace Meetings so far in 2018

Here are just a few of the numerous “golden nuggets” I’ve received from the presentations at our marketplace ministry breakfasts and luncheons during the past five months:

• Hope is not a strategy.
• Does your core team have an agreement on the definition of leadership?
• See the future and lead into it.
• Value results and relationships (equally).
• Leaders serve.
• The four main types of people who attend meetings:
  • Dominant (does well with keeping order / may tend to be too controlling)
  • Expressive (willing to share good things / may tend to hog the time)
  • Analytical (takes great notes and offers good insight / too critical at times)
  • Amiable (reliable helper and contributor / a follower more than a leader)
• Culture affects creativity.
• An idea is at least two former things combined in a new way.
• The need for innovation is increasing and we need to catch up.
• CREATE—get out of the rut of how it’s been done before!
• Stay on the path—don’t take the right turn of disappointment and judgment or the left turn of dejection and depression.
• You don’t attract who you want, you attract who you are.
• The leader is the ideal prototype of the group member in the eyes of the group.
• The Miracle of leadership: to make champions out of ordinary people.
• Real change that is sustainable happens when (their) sense of identity changes.
• What you believe is where you belong.
• The heart of the matter is a matter of the heart.
• Whatever people see and hear consistently over time will put their lives on auto-pilot.

If you haven’t been to one of our breakfasts or luncheons at all, or we haven’t seen you in awhile, I hope you’ll attend one of our events very soon so you can begin taking away your own “golden nuggets.”  Amen.
