​Quote: "The best and most beautiful things in this world cannot be seen or even heard, but must be felt with the heart" - Helen Keller

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. Event Mentioned: High Road Leadership Complimentary Lunch and Learn (Oct 29th)
