We’ve completed the highlights of Blanchard, Hodges and Hendry’s book “Lead Like Jesus.” They offer a final checklist of reminders for our daily journey of leading like Jesus. Here is the list:
- Engage a personal mission statement that is understandable by a 12 year old.
- Identify a personal definition of success that mentions God’s call and involvement.
- Set an order of personal operating values to help you decide which road to travel when you find yourself at a crossroads.
- Walk with Truth Tellers who will keep you headed in the right direction.
- Journal to record the triumphs, challenges and lessons learned that you will want to remember and pass along to others.
- Maintain a well-used instruction manual for daily living.
- Keep a commitment to, with God’s help, practice the Being Habits: accept and abide in God’s love; experience solitude; practice prayer; know and apply Scripture; and maintain supportive relationships.
- Keep a commitment to, with God’s help, practice the Doing Habits: obey God and express His love, grace, forgiveness, encouragement and community.
- Identify your inner circle people who you go to when you are in trouble.
- List a set of recalibration tools to help keep your path straight.
That’s it, guys. We’ve squeezed the insights out of this book over the past 16 weeks. I’m excited to keep walking and leading with you as we consistently engage the Jesus way!
