Points of Leadership is all about equipping leaders in maximizing their leadership for the people they lead. There has been a robust body of research in the last decade about servant leadership pointing to it's positive impact on people in any sphere; be it in a family, church, organization, community or business. From enhanced people well-being, productivity and healthy culture, the effects of a servant leader is impactful. Servant leaders are knowledgeable, ethical people who bring value to organizations and the people they serve, through priority, valuing growth, empowerment and sensitivity to personal concerns (Meuser & Smallfield, 2023). Additionally, in a recent 2025 article by Shonk, a researcher at the Havard Business School, she states that servant leadership is a style in which leaders put the needs, aspirations, and interests of their followers above their own using the thought leadership by Greenleaf who reshaped management and leadership polices in the seventies. In this powerful episode, Dr. Feyi Obamehinti and Mrs. Kristin Jaeck provide the general definition of this style of leadership, characteristics of servant leaders, the environment they foster, examples of this style of leadership and close out with some resources to glean, grow and build with. As always, the leadership principles we share on Points of Leadership are for any leader in any industry that desires to take care of those they lead well through the overflow of his or her life.

Quote: "The lighthouse of the Lord beckons to all as we sail the seas of life." --- Thomas S Monson Points of Leadership is all about equipping leaders in maximizing their leadership for the people they lead. People that live in areas where the weather changes rapidly, have developed some key life skills that keeps them prepared for whatever the weather may bring. From stocking up their homes with essentials to having their weather gears ready in cars, they are a prepared people. Sometimes, this is different in life's uncertainties, where more is needed for stability and orientation. Imagine you are in a small boat at sea when a storm rolls in. It is easy to become disoriented, with no good sense of direction. It is much easier to panic and feel like getting back on track is impossible. Then suddenly out of no where, a light shines from a far distance- a lighthouse- that gives hope and direction. Lighthouses don't get all wobbly when the weather gets rough; they just stand there shining. This is exactly what Dr. Feyi Obamehinti and Mrs. Kristin Jaeck provide in this episode of Points of Leadership podcast. They provide some lighthouse equipping and guidance necessary for great leaders during uncertain times and very useful for certain times as well. As always, the leadership principles we share on Points of Leadership are for any leader in any industry that desires to take care of those they lead well through the overflow of his or her life. So, pull up a chair, call a friend and take a listen and share with any industry leader in your life.

Quote: "Facing difficulties is inevitable; learning from them is optional" --- Dr. John Maxwell Points of Leadership is all about equipping leaders in maximizing their leadership for the people they lead. Webster dictionary provides both the noun and verb definitions of the word "pain." It states the definition of it's noun, as a "localized or generalized unpleasant bodily sensation or complex of sensations that causes mild to severe physical discomfort and emotional distress and typically results from bodily disorder." Webster also, it states the definition of it's verb as to make suffer, or cause distress as to put in trouble or exertion." Simply put, pain signifies discomfort in all its form to the body and emotions. Pain is a universal life experience for every human being. However, the way each human being experience pain is individual in different ways. Colonel Rawal in his 2024 article, "Understating Pain as a Catalyst for Growth" states that in the midst of the chaos of life lies a great opportunity for growth and change. Furthermore, he states that pain is an essential part of the human journey, acting as life's complex teacher. The law of pain is all about great management of bad life experiences. The law of pain examines the importance of good and great management of bad life experiences. In this episode of Points of Leadership, continuing our discussion on Dr. John Maxwell's 15 Invaluable Laws of Growth , we dive into the chapter on law of pain. We begin with a quick overview of the law of pain, examine the universal experience and how pain can propel every human towards growth based on attitude and mindset. Furthermore, Dr. Feyi Obamehinti, and Mrs. Kristin Jaeck- CEO of ReWorking Strategies LLC - a values-based company in Connecticut give a shoutout to the group at UTA that did a study on the law of design. Dr. Feyi and Mrs. Jaeck also discuss the different types of pain and thinking mindsets that can propel people towards life growth or lead to destruction. This episode concludes our discussion from the book on laws of growth. Lastly, a Biblical view on pain is provided from John 16:33, where Jesus Christ encourages His disciples. It states, " I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace; in this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world!"

Quote: "Every person is composed of few themes” --- C.S. Lewis Points of Leadership is all about equipping leaders in maximizing their leadership for the people they lead. Life is lived by design whether that is intentional or not, positive or negative. Most people allow their lives to simply happen to them, by floating along and reacting to life. The beauty of life is that God has blessed every person with the same hours and minutes in a day. Every person is composed of few themes and able to maximize their lives for the purposes God created them for. In a 2023 Havard Business Review article, Strack, Dyrchs and Bailey, share how in corporate strategy projects, executive leadership teams work through a series of questions to determine how their businesses can succeed. They assert that individuals can use a similar process to determine how to live a purposeful life. The law of design is all about developing life strategies that propels maximum growth, spiritually, personally and professionally. The law of design examines the importance of strategic thinking in living a purposeful life. One that is received personally, repeated easily and transferred strategically. In this episode of Points of Leadership, continuing our discussion on Dr. John Maxwell's 15 Invaluable Laws of Growth , we dive into the chapter on law of design. We begin with a quick overview of the law of design, why responding to life is beneficial than reactionary, and the value of establishing effective life systems that is well aligned. Furthermore, Dr. Feyi Obamehinti, and Mrs. Kristin Jaeck- CEO of ReWorking Strategies LLC - a values-based company in Connecticut breakdown what effective systems look like and how to consistently re-assess the systems.

Quote: "You are the sum of the 5 people that you spend your time with” --- Jim Rohn Points of Leadership is all about equipping leaders in maximizing their leadership for the people they lead. The value of an environment cannot be underestimated. In a 2023 article by the Center on the Developing Child at Harvard University, physical environments where children live affect their development and health. In fact, a child’s environmental exposure early in life can cause lasting changes in developing biological systems. Whether for good or bad, the environment we spend most of our time in has lasting effects. The quote by Jim Rohn provides insights on how important the environment and the people we spend most of our time with affect both our personal and professional growth. Rohn coined the quote after a research study based on the law of averages. "When it comes to relationships, we are greatly influenced - whether we like it or not - by those closest to us. It affects our way of thinking, our self-esteem, and our decisions. Of course, everyone is their own person, but research has shown that we're more affected by our environment than we think. The law of Environment states that growth thrives in conducive surroundings. It becomes expedient then for leaders to frequently assess their environment for growth alignment. Sometimes, leaders need to change their environments to grow. Furthermore, it is possible to change without growing but it is impossible to grow without changing. In this episode of Points of Leadership, continuing our discussion on Dr. John Maxwell's 15 Invaluable Laws of Growth , we dive into the chapter on law of environment. We begin with a quick overview using the analogy of a plant, and the key components it needs to grow. Without sunlight, water, air, temperature and the right soil, a plant will shrivel and die off. And with the presence of all necessary components, the plant flourishes well. Furthermore, Dr. Feyi Obamehinti, and Mrs. Kristin Jaeck- CEO of ReWorking Strategies LLC - a values-based company in Connecticut discuss how to determine what conducive environment looks like and how to assess what nurtures towards growth. This is a great jumpstart to cast vision for this year for both your personal and professional growth.

Quote: "Discipline is consistency of action" --- James C. Collins Points of Leadership is all about equipping leaders in maximizing their leadership for the people they lead. Consistency is one of the values that is multi-dimensional. Coleman a Harvard Business Review leadership contributor shares how consistency is the defining value of high performers in an organization. He states how consistent leaders not only work hard, or show up authentically, but also empower and equip their teams in producing excellent results. Similarly, Turner and Rindova in their 2011 research on how to maintain consistency in the face of ongoing change, examine how participants routinely view and balance the demands of consistency and need for flexibility. The end results suggest that the value of discipline plays a big role in maintaining the balance between consistency and flexibility. In this episode of Points of Leadership, continuing our discussion on Dr. John Maxwell's 15 Invaluable Laws of Growth , we dive into the next chapter on the law of consistency. We begin with a quick overview, the what, how, why and when of consistency and some practical ways to create a habit of consistency. Furthermore, Dr. Feyi Obamehinti, and Mrs. Kristin Jaeck- CEO of ReWorking Strategies LLC - a values based company in Connecticut discuss how consistency is the hallmark of excellence.

Quote: "Without reflection, we go blindly on our way" --- Dr. Margaret Wheatley Points of Leadership is all about equipping leaders in maximizing their leadership for the people they lead. Reflection is an executive function that propels growth both personally and professionally. In a 2022 Havard Business Review article by Bailey and Rehman, titled, "Don't Underestimate the Power of Reflection", it indicates through research that the practice of reflection distinguishes extraordinary professionals. This is because reflection increases critical thinking, self-awareness and understanding. Continuing our discussion on Dr. John Maxwell's 15 Invaluable Laws of Growth , we dive into chapter five with a look at the law of reflection. We begin with a quick overview of how the law of the mirror is different from the law of reflection. Each law is distinct in its scope and intent. Furthermore, Dr. Feyi Obamehinti, and Mrs. Kristin Jaeck- CEO of ReWorking Strategies LLC - a values based company in Connecticut discuss and provide some insights into what the law of reflection is all about and its benefits for both personal and professional growth. A standout thread of discussion in this episode is how reflection is a practice of great secure leaders, who welcome questions, critiques or dissent voices to fuel their continuous growth. As always, the leadership principles we share on Points of Leadership are for any leader in any industry that desires to take care of those they lead well. With a few days left in 2024, this is a great time for reflection. So, pull up a chair, call a friend and take a listen and share with any industry leader in your life.

Quote: "There are two great days in a person's life: the day you were born and the day you discover why" --- Mark Twain Points of Leadership is all about equipping leaders in maximizing their leadership for the people they lead. Purpose though divinely assigned, requires a personal responsibility to unpack, unearth and live out. Everyone as an image bearer of God possess a myriad of gifts, talents, and possibilities, yet only a few embark on the grueling journey it takes to discover and live purposefully. A study conducted by the National Library of Medicine in 2010, suggest there are a variety of factors that inhibit people from discovering their purpose- one being self-esteem. This is central to every area of one's life. From taking responsibility for personal development, to competency, self-love and motivation to mention a few according to the 2010 study. Dr. John Maxwell has studied, taught and lived out leadership for over five decades. In this episode, we dive into the 15 Invaluable Laws of Growth with a look at the law of the mirror. We cover the general premise that a person has to value himself or herself before he or she can add value to themselves and others. As Dr. John Maxwell states, "growth doesn't just happen." And when a leader grows in his or her leadership, everyone connected to that leader is impacted for the best. Furthermore, Dr. Feyi Obamehinti, and Mrs. Kristin Jaeck- CEO of ReWorking Strategies LLC - a values based company in Connecticut discuss and provide some insights into what the law of the mirror is all about.

Quote: "What is necessary to change a person is to change his awareness of himself" - Abraham Maslow
Points of Leadership is all about equipping leaders in maximizing their leadership for the people they lead. One of the big words in leadership research studies is "awareness." According to the Harvard Business Review, self-awareness is a key component of emotional intelligence which is the ability to recognize and understand one's own emotions, thoughts, and values and how that impacts behavior. Dr. John Maxwell has studied, taught and lived out leadership for over five decades. In this episode, we dive into the 15 Invaluable Laws of Growth with a look at the law of awareness. We cover the key questions that any leader seeking to grow personally or professionally should ask to activate growth. As Dr. John Maxwell states, "growth doesn't just happen." And when a leader grows in his or her leadership, everyone connected to that leader is impacted for the best. Furthermore, Dr. Feyi Obamehinti, and Mrs. Kristin Jaeck- CEO of ReWorking Strategies LLC - a values based company in Connecticut provide some practical examples of unlocking the law of awareness.

Points of Leadership is all about equipping leaders in maximizing their leadership for the people they lead. Leadership is one of those human qualities that "if you see it, you know it." In a time that our world is divisive, our world could use leaders that understand what it means to go above and beyond. In a leadership study conducted by Barna Group (a Christian think tank that is over fifty years old) in 2013, it was discovered at that time that the United States was in a leadership crisis. That was eleven years ago and it looks like we are at that same place again in 2024- we have a leadership crisis in our world! Anyone that has ever experienced great leadership in any sphere, knows that feeling- as Helen Keller stated in the listed quote- its leadership that can be felt with the heart. Dr. John Maxwell has studied, taught and lived out leadership for over five decades. He provides some key principles in one of his newest books - High Road Leadership- in which he provides solutions to the current leadership crisis of our time. Our world is in desperate need of leaders in every sphere and space that knows how to bring people together rather than divide or separate people. In this episode, we dive into some key principles from High Road Leadership and what that looks like. We provide a quick overview of the three roads of leadership: high, middle and low. High Road Leaders - value others and bring people together. Middle Road Leaders - seek value from others and move back and forth between sides. Low Road Leaders - devalue others and divide people. Furthermore, Dr. Feyi Obamehinti, and Mrs. Kristin Jaeck- CEO of ReWorking Strategies LLC - a values based company in Connecticut discuss these pointers of high road leadership. For Christian leaders, a Biblical lens from 1 John 2: 6 (Whoever claims to live in Christ must live as Jesus did), takes the discussion deeper. The episode concludes with this reflective thought for all leaders - valuing others all begins with valuing yourself. As always, these leadership principles are for any leader in any industry that desires to take care of those they lead well. Pull up a chair, call a friend and take a listen and share with any industry leader in your life.
