Obeying god and expressing his Love
As a leader, you always have the choice of responding in a loving way– and that option is not usually the easiest way.
Sometimes love will require you to let go of your pride and fear and do the hard thing of holding a staff member accountable.
Blanchard, Hodges & Hendry (p.221)
“For I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from this love. Death can’t and life can’t. The angels won’t, and all the powers of hell itself cannot keep God’s love away. Our fears for today, our worries about tomorrow or where we are – High above the sky, or in the deepest ocean– nothing will be able to separate us from the love of God demonstrated by our Lord Jesus Christ when he died for us.”
Romans 8
Responding in Love
It is important to remember all parts in your work need to seasoned with grace, integrity and forgiveness. Not just when you feel like it.
Responding in Love… 1 Corinthians 13
“If I speak with human eloquence and angelic ecstasy but don’t love, I’m nothing but the creaking of a rusty gate.
If I speak God’s Word with power, revealing all his mysteries and making everything plain as day, and if I have faith that says to a mountain, “Jump,” and it jumps, but I don’t love, I’m nothing.
If I give everything I own to the poor and even go to the stake to be burned as a martyr, but I don’t love, I’ve gotten nowhere. So, no matter what I say, what I believe, and what I do, I’m bankrupt without love.”
The Message Bible
Responding in Love… 1 Corinthians 13
“Love never gives up. Love cares more for others than for self. Love doesn’t want what it doesn’t have. Love doesn’t strut, Doesn’t have a swelled head,
Doesn’t force itself on others, Isn’t always “me first,” Doesn’t fly off the handle, Doesn’t keep score of the sins of others, Doesn’t revel when others grovel,
Takes pleasure in the flowering of truth, Puts up with anything, Trusts God always, Always looks for the best, Never looks back, But keeps going to the end.”
The Message Bible
The Five Love Languages – What’s yours?
The original book that was written in 1995, by Gary Chapman
It outlines 5 ways to express and experience love which are called “love languages”
As emotional beings, we need to receive love that fills our tank in specific ways. However, other people express and experience love in different ways.
This can be applied to any relationship: friends, parents, children, and romantic as well as the workplace.
Words of Affirmation
One of your deepest needs is the need to feel appreciated. Verbal appreciation, encouragement, kind and humble words are all ways to show love to you.
Words of affirmation
Quality Time
You enjoy doing things together! We aren’t talking about just sitting in front of the TV together but really giving each other undivided attention.
This means looking at each other talking to each other, sharing your life.
Quality time
Receiving Gifts
You are happy to receive things from your loved ones.
They don’t have to be expensive. The gift is a symbol of their caring for you.
Giving and receiving gifts
Acts of Service
For you, actions speak louder than words. You prefer your partner to do things for you such as cooking as meal, giving a massage, cleaning the room.
These acts show that you are cared for.
Acts of service
Physical Touch
You love to receive a hug, a kiss, squeezes on the shoulder, a pat on the back etc.
Touches can be 10 times as powerful and comforting as any words!
Physical touch
So what’s your love language?
Step 1: Begin the 5 Love Languages quiz and take time to answer each question thoughtfully.
Step 2: Add up your score and determine which is your primary and secondary love language.
The Habit of Grace
Grace is getting something that you don’t deserve.
Often as leaders, we need to give grace to the people we work with.
Grace is believing that people are doing the best they can, given their level of awareness.
It is up to us to make sure grace is extended; we lead in the way of grace.
What is grace?
The Habit of Forgiveness
Forgiveness does not mean that you deny what happened.
As a leader, you need a healthy capacity to forgive, redirect and move on.
It’s a supernatural act of a person who can surrendered self, plans, will and live in obedience to God.
Jesus taught forgiveness to his disciples.
The Habit of Forgiveness
Is there someone in your life, who has hurt you or caused pain that you need to forgive?
If you don’t forgive, you are carrying around extra weight/luggage and this will affect your personal life as well as organizational /business life.
The Habit of Encouragement
Definition: the action of giving someone support, confidence or hope.
“Encouragement completes the coaching cycle: it is your opportunity to help those you coach stay on course and not move backward. A key aspect of effective encouragement is catching people doing something right” p. 22
The Habit of Community
Jesus modeled living in Community with his disciples.
He established the mission and vision of the community and He gave His disciples a vision of the future.
A loving community sets boundaries and communicates about what is acceptable within its culture and what is not.
Communities keep people accountable.
The Habit of a Healthy Work Community
A healthy community also has a healthy work place culture.
What is work place culture?
Culture is the character and personality of your organization. It’s what makes your organization unique and is the sum of its values, traditions, and beliefs.
The culture of your community will help determine how successfully you organization fulfills it’s vision and mission.
