Bottom line: Be real ❤. 🙇 thank you for this beautiful message ❤

[@lailabiley386]

Two most important leaders were the one who hired me and the last one who fired me! Both saved my life!

[@pureachiever_]

At the end of the day, people will follow a leader who is real than who is always right. Thank you Pastor Craig! While listening I am crying not because of sadness but tears of joy. The last pointer hit my heart. I realized that you dont need to be perfect leader but a leader who has transparency, integrity and vulnerable. In short, being just you not pretending to be somebody else. God bless you pastor and your team! Indeed, to God be all the glory.

[@NaphtaliHoff]

I totally agree with your first sentence 👌

What a message!

[@mishaelgrace4354]

To be a leader people loves to follow, we need a: Heart to care: -"I notice. You matter." Passion to inspire: -"Passion transforms a job into a calling." 💖 Willingness to empower: -"If we're delegating tasks, we're creating followers. If we delegate decisions, we're creating leaders." -"The only way we'll know if we can trust them, is to trust them." Thank you for sharing! 💕 Came here fr Spotify 😊

Pastor Craig, this is so, so good! I only wish the leaders who most need to hear it would be tuning in vs the employee, watching, learning growing into leadership roles in advance.

[@lailabiley386]

I served under leaders who lacked emotional intelligence and I struggle so much it affected my personal life. Now i quickly do the exit if called upon by such leaders. So thank you for getting it. I was a right and they missed it.

[@irinearmando6443]

Amen, Thank you LORD JESUS! 💖💖💖

[@Iammadonna1234]

This is awesome and timely 🔥💕

[@holylandlover347]

Always using emotional and passionate title. God bless you.

Very informative programs and Educative too.

[@user-nh9xi4tg8v]

thank you so much it was inspiring - love you

[@avivabitton4211]

Great share and thank you I Absolutely agree! Leaders must inspire and empower as well as coach, never intimidate or dominate. Emotional Intelligence is not a flavor. Successful leaders have EI and love people. They share their journey and lessons learned. They are full of kindness.

[@NaphtaliHoff]

[@amalodjafar2258]

It's very good

[@darkroom5677]

great.

[@rogerradunz8075]

I find this fascinating in the olden days this is called tact.

[@rogerradunz8075]

The other word is discernment.

[@maribethcondrillon1079]

A great leader only needs to be made in many brains. Organizers because this is something that can be studied carefully. A leader can command but not for himself but for the spread of the future throughout the world and it is very happy if our mission is all united towardsbuilding a future for the same if difficult

[@maribethcondrillon1079]

Wow ❤️❤️❤️😭

[@alevillanueva6186]

Wow.

[@CarolinaRodriguez-ts2ps]

Loved this video!!

[@lionoffireministries]

Amen. Great. I think genuinely caring for people with a deep love is powerful. In my management roles, or even as a subordinate, I genuinely care about people at a deep level. It's the love of God working in and through me. Humility of mind, meekness of heart, and giving lots of encouragement and appreciation. It's so rare that it goes a loooooong way and impacts people deeply. Because they just don't see it anywhere 😁👍

[@lailabiley386]

I am your student for life. Marry Christmas.

[@cathie223]

In Life it’s hard to know who you’ve helped if you ‘randomly’ show-up. Each one has potential to become someone’s lifeline resource. Yes, you may piss-off some, but once you’re told, “if it wasn’t for you I would’ve checked-out of Life today” - you come to know it was your assignment. Be willing to step into someone’s Life 🌎… its Significant. 💝☝️

[@cominghomewithsusanne]

So glad to see another video out today. Hope everyone has a safe and Happy 4th of July!

[@ezace7548]

Incredible message- I’ll be showing this entire message to my team

[@Adhikpost]

Wow, such a fresh outlook, and vibrant presentation! Like John Maxwell, whom you and many of us love and look up to and respect, you enthuse us with courage and confidence indeed! Thank you for your passion for empowering leaders, dear Craig!

[@lailabiley386]

What is worse they dumped me in medieval area just to remind me how lucky I should be. God bless their heart!

[@igbedionfunke7928]

When passion meet inspiration obsession is born

[@NaphtaliHoff]

This is exactly how to become a leader people love to follow 👌

[@holylandlover347]

Empowering not controlling

[@JLFULMER21022]

The whole speech was very valuable, but 38:07 - 38:55 was 🔥 Right where I am right now trying to find the courage to cross that bridge regarding a new leadership project I've never done, but feel deeply impressed upon to do. Gonna just go for it the best I can, let everything fall where it may, learn, and go from there!! Loved it!!

[@rochellecaffee1417]

What do you do when you don’t even know how i got into the situation i am in? Who is following me? How many people are there? What is the main priority of this situation? I would set some limits if i knew how big is the problem. To make others feel valued, you would need to KNOW your team members. I don’t know my “others”. I wish someone would tell me. I see my self as a “trouble shooter”. I am more interested in how to figure out WHAT is the problem? And what kind of attention does it need? Is it a relationship problem? Or an individual problem? Confidence? Arrogance? Need more rest? Ask questions of a person to help them see what they might want or need to do, or to make a decision, set a boundary, forgive, etc. Ask, so that they can feel empowered and “part of the whole”, so that they have “skin in the game”, or have invested in the responsibility of the assignment. Ask, to get data to solve, WITH the person. Find out what they feel they do that may give them the “feeling” that they are “sailing WITH the winds” what comes easily to them? Jesus came to serve, NOT to control or “force” something with others. He OFFERED himself. And did not give EXPECTATIONS that everyone would meet specific demands, and follow Him. I read on Pinterest: If you are annoyed with someone for not changing, then YOU are not changing. Jesus came for those who “needed” Him. Those were the only ones who WANTED to listen, and do His will. He taught the Principles, not the details so much. The principles would give the disciples what they needed to do the job as THEY saw fit.”If you think you can, you can. If you think you can’t, you can’t.”(Dave Ramsey) God will go with us as long as we will go with Him.
