Leadership Summit Thought #2

Do the simple things.

As a leader with a healthy dose of energy and vision, you may be tempted to go and try something ginormous sized over the next 2 days, week, month or year. You may be tempted to triple the size of whatever you’re leading. Go big or go home right?

Bill Hybels closed the Leadership Summit this year by saying, “Do the simple things”. God may have big plans for you, but don’t forget the simple things. This was a healthy dose of reality for me. Some of Bill’s examples:

• Establish a time and place to meet with God every day.
• Read good books 30 minutes a day
• Decide you will say “yes” to God every time the Spirit prompts
• review your spiritual replenishment strategy
• Forgive someone

What are the little things you’re forgetting to do in order to accomplish that giant task you’re working on? Are you like me and letting leadership books, task lists, and strategy replace your time with the Lord?
