Today’s “moments” will be milli-seconds as I’ve more to do than one can imagine and the clock just keeps tickin’.

Over the weekend, I started a discussion about leadership.  I’ve decided to pursue that topic for a few days and just want to make some brief remarks for a Monday.

If I were going to make it in the form of a metaphor (and everyone knows I love that); I’d call leadership “The Monday Morning Experience”.  With Friday night, Saturday & Sunday as the “warm up” or “prep time”.

Look at it this way!  Leadership begins with native gifts in the area of administration; organization and a personality that draws people to you.  In spiritual terms, we call those gifts “motivational gifts of the Spirit” and we’ve talk about those sometime ago in the FORUM.

But they are just that - “native” and usually in pretty raw condition.  In other words, they haven’t been shaped & formed as yet.

That’s where Friday night, Saturday and Sunday in our metaphor, comes in.  We’ve reached a point in life where we’ve transitioned to, moved from or changed into.  We’ve reached late afternoon on Friday.

You know, a really good novel writer, especially a mystery writer (i.e. J.B. Flether on “Murder She Wrote”), always leaves the reader hanging a wee bit.  I think I’ll try that since time is rapidly overtaking me.

So, this is it for today.  We’ll pick up our metaphor tomorrow and look at good leadership vs successful leadership and what must occur between Friday night & Monday morning when it comes to developing leadership!

Have an awesome day with much love and great benefits!
