5 Simple Essentials for Leaders « Brad Lomenick

Brad Lomenick--CatalystHere is a great list of essential leadership principles from Brad Lomenick. Just as he says, they are simple, but yet sometimes very difficult to carry out…or maybe just for me anyway.

I know for me, the “Be Humble,” and “Be Decisive” are the hardest for me.  And with the advent of “smart” phones, the “Be Present” is also a difficult one for me.

Of course, the humility piece is always difficult isn’t it? I had a seminary prof tell me one time, “Don’t take yourself too seriously…but always take your calling very seriously.” I also find myself waffling on decisions I shouldn’t. I roll them around in my head, over and over. I have a high school classmate of mine the other day post on his Facebook wall that he and his wife instituted a “device-free dinner table” over the last few months and it has really helped “community” in his home. We need to do that…starting with Dad’s iPhone!!

So tell me, which of Lomenick’s list are the most difficult for you? Why?

Here is the list:

1. Be Humble– you’re not that big of a deal.

2. Be Authentic– your team wants to be led by the real you.

3. Be Informed- ongoing competence requires ongoing learning.

4. Be Decisive- no one wants to be led by someone who can’t make a decision.

5. Be Present- in the moment, focused on now, and physically around. literally.
