The 2008 Orange Conference
Session 3
On Leadership…
- How Donald sees Leadership: A person who gets to know you in such a way that makes you want to take ownership or part in their vision.
- Jesus influenced many, but led 12.
- A leader gets to know people.
- A leader invites people to own their vision and to take part in the vision…gets people involved in fulfilling the vision.
- Leaders need to be following someone, if they are not being led, we need to be cautious about following them.
- A leader’s ambition should be huge and absurd.
- Attempting BIG things will emulate a process of thinking big in those that we follow (I.E. Our Children)
- Leadership does not allow people to watch “the vision” happen, but to be a part of “the vision.” (Donald told of a story with an annual San Diego Parade and how it began…great story!)
- Leaders speak something into nothingness.
- God has asked us to lead; he has invited us into the vision.
- Eventually when you have an idea, you give it away to the place where people don’t even know that the original vision and idea came from you, it grows and expands because of ownership.
- My Challenge: To lead like Jesus led.
Yeah, Donald Miller is good stuff!
Glad you’re having a good time and soaking up so much!
