Take lots of time to think, to read God\u2019s Word, and to dream. Schedule \u201cnothing\u201d for a period of time, so that you are rested, clear-minded, and spiritually refreshed. Then you\u2019ll be fired up and ready to share with your people a word that will turn the light on in their thinking and doing \u2013 something that will spur them on. <a href=\"http:\/\/biblicalcounselinginsights.com\/blog\/2010\/04\/managing-people-effectively\/\" target=\"_blank\">(read more)<\/a><\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"http:\/\/biblicalcounselinginsights.com\/blog\/leadership-development\/patience-in-managing\/\" target=\"_blank\">Patience in Managing<\/a><\/h3>\n<p>John Morgan was having trouble with the employees in his automobile repair garage.

Telling them what their job is. Telling them what constitutes satisfactory performance. Checking to see that it\u2019s done. Recognizing quality work. Correcting poor work. Getting rid of the ones who don\u2019t do it. Sometimes those tasks can be difficult, but they are required of leaders. <a href=\"http:\/\/biblicalcounselinginsights.com\/blog\/leadership-development\/leadership-communication\/\" target=\"_blank\">(read more)<\/a><\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"http:\/\/biblicalcounselinginsights.com\/blog\/leadership-development\/what-distinctive-qualities-are-found-in-a-mature-leader\/\" target=\"_blank\">Qualities of Mature Leaders<\/a><\/h3>\n<p>What\u2019s the attraction that draws people into a church?
