Leadership training

[Mr. Binod Maliel]

Experience is mistakes you are not going to repeat.

Ephesians 2:8,9

- Good work alone is not taking you anywhere
- Salvation is God’s gift for us.

Parable of the talents teaches us that the reward in heaven is based on the work done on earth. Everything we do is going to be refined by the testing fire of God. Only the good work that lasts this fire is going to be the basis for our rewards in heaven.

There are different types of leaderships

- Visible leaders
- Invisible leaders

God has chosen a path for each of us. No matter what path is decided of you, there are some common set of challenges that you will face as leaders

1. Motivation
2. Handling different situations
3. Thinking ahead
4. Keeping people together
5. People skills
6. Positive attitude
7. Open to ideas

Some of the words that can be used to define a leader are “Initiator and finisher”, “responsibilities” and “achiever”.

Philippians 4:13 – Christ strengthens you to be able to do all things. God uses “FAT” people – Faithful, Available and Talented.
All in all, leadership is an influence. Nothing more and nothing less!!

Leaders should

• Be able to evaluate ideas, not people.
• Influence people and should be ready to be influenced by others.
• Be self motivated.
• Be able to influence results. They should be activity oriented, not result oriented.
  

Level 5 leaders is the name given to the leaders of 11 companies with sustained results of 3 times above average, for 15 years. Two of the qualities of these level 5 leaders are

1. Humility
2. Willing to take tough decisions for positive results.
   

Leaders need to be windows when good things happen and mirrors to failures. Dissatisfaction is good as long as it is managed well. It brings out new ideas.

There are two types of handling people.

1. Directing behavior
2. Supporting behaviour
   

People usually belong to one of the following 4 quadrants. A leader needs to cater to the support and direct a person according to the quadrant they belong to.
