Lessons from My Father

Leadership Lessons by Myles Jr. Chairo

• Leadership success is measured by the success of their successor.

Mentoring & Succession

• Succession is the effective transfer, conveyance and transition of a leader's:
• Vision
• Passion
• Purpose
• Intent
• Dreams
• Character
• Standards
• Values
• Morals
• Qualities 
• to succeeding generations of leaders
• It is reproducing yourself.
• "My father was dedicated to the mandate that God had given him and he was faithful to the vision."
• You cannot mentor someone who does not want to be mentored. 
• God places individuals in our lives to advise us. We may think that they are trying to hinder us from accomplishing what we want to accomplish; but they have gone through what we are going through already. There is no need for us to make the same mistakes that they made.
• Mentors are not overbearing to the mentees.

Mentoring & Succession

• Identify the mentee
• Wants to be mentored
• Aligns with the vision
• Sold out to the vision
• A mentor takes you out of your comfort zone because he sees something in you that you may not see at the moment.
• Pick a starting point
• Keys - Access (resources, finance, time...), Freedom, Correction, Recognition, etc. 
• My dad changes for no one because he knows who he is.
• It's important for a leader to be the exact same person they say they are, behind everybody's eyes.
• He met many people in this earth who rubbed him the wrong way - but he still loved the God in them.  
• As a leader, you can't make emotional decisions. You can't make irrational decisions. As a leader, your decision affects many.

Do the Right Thing

1 Peter 5:8-11 (NIV-UK)
Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that the family of believers throughout the world is undergoing the same kind of sufferings.

Psychiatrist and the Corpse

"When we think of ourselves as fixed, unchanging entities, we then seek to act in alignment with that self-concept and are troubled when we don't."
Michael Neill

A man goes to a psychiatrist and the psychiatrist asks him what's wrong.

The man says, "Isn't it obvious? I'm dead -- I'm a corpse."

The psychiatrist says, "But you walked in here -- can corpses walk?"

The man says, "Haven't you ever seen a zombie movie? Of course corpses can walk."

So the psychiatrist says, "But we're talking -- do corpses talk?"

The man says, "What kind of a question is that? Of course corpses can talk!"

Finally, the psychiatrist gets an idea. With a crafty look in his eye, he asks the man, "Do corpses bleed?"

The man thinks for a moment, and then says "No, no, corpses don't bleed. After all, we're dead, so we can't bleed."

Before the man can react, the psychiatrist reaches over and pricks him on the hand with a needle and a small drop of blood emerges from under his skin. The man stares at the blood in amazement.

"Well I'll be damned," the man says. "Corpses do bleed!"

When we see that our  character... is made up of the true constants of Mind, Consciousness and Thought, we are free to think anything, feel anything, and do anything in any situation.

Stay and Wait

Scandal of Grace

Let Me Live

Yesterday I made a mistake
Now it is in my past
My context has changed
My perception is different
My lessons learnt
Let me live

If you stay stuck in my past
You will sound like a broken record
You will distort me through a shattered mirror
You will see me through stained lenses
Let me live

Drop the stones of judgment
Step down from that high pedestal
You will see a different me
When we stand eyeball to eyeball
Let me live.
