Continuing from my last post (https://lnkd.in/g9CfJ-We), I'm stepping ๐ฃ further out of my comfort zone ๐ฌ๐ฌ๐ฌ.
Each Sunday, I'll explore texts and distill universal leadership lessons ๐ซ๐๐ฅ๐๐ฏ๐๐ง๐ญ ๐ซ๐๐ ๐๐ซ๐๐ฅ๐๐ฌ๐ฌ ๐จ๐ ๐ซ๐๐ฅ๐ข๐ ๐ข๐จ๐ฎ๐ฌ ๐๐๐ฅ๐ข๐๐๐ฌ.

๐๐จ๐๐๐ฒ'๐ฌ ๐๐๐ฌ๐ฌ๐๐ ๐: Philippians 1:12-26 https://lnkd.in/gNHEgpiH
๐๐ป ๐ฎ ๐ก๐๐๐๐ต๐ฒ๐น๐น: ๐ฑ Paul's letter to the Philippians, written from prison, is a study in resilience and leadership. He grapples with personal conflict - the choice between life, continuing his mission, and death, reuniting with Christ. Choosing to stay, he prioritizes the growth and needs of others over his own desires.

๐ญ. ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐๐ถ๐น๐ถ๐ฒ๐ป๐ฐ๐ฒ ๐ถ๐ป ๐๐ฑ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐๐ถ๐๐ ๐ช: Paul demonstrates how unwavering belief can anchor us through tough times. As leaders, identifying our core values - be it innovation, integrity, or team empowerment - can help turn challenges into opportunities. Paul's imprisonment, a significant adversity, becomes a catalyst for spreading his message.
๐ฎ. ๐ฃ๐ผ๐๐ถ๐๐ถ๐๐ฒ ๐ข๐๐๐น๐ผ๐ผ๐ธ ๐ถ๐ป ๐๐ต๐ฎ๐น๐น๐ฒ๐ป๐ด๐ฒ๐ ๐: Viewing obstacles as growth and innovation opportunities is vital. How can we, as leaders, transform setbacks into constructive impacts? By focusing on long-term vision over immediate comfort, we break through the 'drama triangle', aligning with concepts from 'Extreme Ownership' (check your ego) and '5 Dysfunctions of a Team' (focus on results).
๐ฏ. ๐ฃ๐ฟ๐ถ๐ผ๐ฟ๐ถ๐๐ถ๐๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐ง๐ฒ๐ฎ๐บ ๐ฆ๐๐ฐ๐ฐ๐ฒ๐๐ ๐ข๐๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐ฆ๐ฒ๐น๐ณ ๐: Paul's selfless leadership choice underpins the essence of team building and success. His decision reflects a positive, long-term perspective, bolstering resilience and ensuring that his identity and actions align with helping others rather than self-serving goals.

These key things affect not only how successful our teams are and how we are perceived but also how we make it through the crucibles of leadership. Times we just want to break down.
