Why Leaders Who Hold THIS Bias Are the Most Effective Leaders

Press Start

Here’s my hunch. You know exactly what you need to do. 

Come on … you know what it is:

That change you need to make in your church.

The project you need to launch.

That book you need to write.

The blog you need to get started on.

That team member you need to deal with.

That unchurched neighbor you need to have over for dinner.

That series you need to find the courage to preach.

So what’s holding you back?

Be honest.

Maybe it’s fear.

Or a lack of confidence.

Or the belief you might fail.

Well …

The only way to get past fear is to move through it.

The brave aren’t the brave because they don’t feel fear. They’re brave because they pushed through it.

The only way to gain confidence is to do something. So go do it.

Truthfully, your dream is failing right now. You have nothing to lose by acting on your dream except the 100 percent guarantee of failure that comes from not acting on it.

Now … before you leave a comment (scroll down to add to the conversation), decide what you need to act on.

Then act.

A bias toward action is a bias every effective leader has. So get moving.
