TIDBITS FROM GLS 2018

I attended the Global Leadership Summit for the first time this year 2018. I missed the Thursday event but made it for Friday. The entire day was for me a great eye opener. I learned so much and have immediately implemented at least two new things that I felt are necessary for me to move ahead. I entered into a season of fasting and prayer to seek God’s guidance on how I should be planning and thinking and moving things around to conform to His will for me. The following are the tidbits that I took away with me and which I would like to share with all who might not have made it.

• There is no end to learning. Take the opportunity to learn. Help out. Don’t wait to be given a position

• Leadership is not a theory taught in books. It is a skill developed with time.

• If you cannot lead in low positions, you cannot lead in high positions either.

• Idleness cannot build a leader. You must dirty your hands.

• You must have staying power.

• Get excited, not fearful, about challenges.

• Don’t be greedy for the spoils. Take only what is your entitlement.

• You must be accountable and have a strong conviction on matters of value, ethics and the fear of God. You must have a clear stand on these things.

• What matters is how you finish not how you start. You dont choose how you start but you get to choose how to finish.

• Values are universal. Take your values with you wherever you go.

• Refuse to make assumptions. Remain curious.

• Business is not just about profit. It is also about purpose.

• Applaud your unfinished work. God applauded Himself day after day as He created the world. Every day he looked and said it was good.

• There are no shortcuts to success.

• Temptation is strongest when you are most vulnerable.

• The fear of God does not take away ambition. Being a Christian gives you an advantage; a head-start over non-believers when you stand on God’s promises.

• We are living in the end times. Absolute fidelity to the Bible and astute awareness of hypocrisy are vital for your survival in these times.

• Difficult times are transient. Manage them without compromising your values. There is no position worth betraying God for.

• Your vision should be something that is beyond your means and which scares you.
