Session 3:
Positioning Your Organization for the Future (Jeffrey Immelt)

Work attitude
·         It’s never about work/career, it is about creativity
·         It is not out of fear to work but because of confidence
·         I love what I do and I want to make a difference
·         You want people to be on fire when they come and work
·         It is not about individual but the company comes first
·         Stand apart, question authority, question system
·         Excuses turn everybody off (accountability)
·         People can question my decisions but not my intention
·         I cannot guarantee the outcome because we are not perfect but we want to get the job done, we ensure the process.

Leadership
·         Leadership is taught
·         Leader drives the wonders of the company
·         Leader drives the culture of the company
·         You are in a business of making people confident



Session 4:
Instigating change through personal sacrifice (Bryan Loritts)
·         Not about how much you give but how much is enough for you
·         John Wesley decided 28 pounds is enough for him and anything more than that, he gave to the needy
·         Joy is not how much you have spent on shopping but how much you have paid for the medical bills of others.



Session 5:
Mastering the art of crucial conversations (Joseph Grenny)

Myth
You often have to choose between telling the truth and keeping a friend.



In order to have safety, a key aspect of successful crucial conversations, there must be mutual purpose and mutual respect.

3 Crucial moments in church
a) Performance Problems
b) Struggling in sin/disconnected from the church
c) Concerns with pastors

Not talk around the truth but talk through
Not so much of CONTENT but INTENT

Session 6:
The power paradox (Ivan Satyavrata)

Am I holding the tower/basin (humility) on one hand as tight as holding the scepter (power) on the other hand?
Great leaders refuse to use power to manipulate people and control people.



Session 7:
Leadership (Carly Fiorina)

TRUE leadership requires faith
FAITH gives us the gift of humility
FAITH in God leads to FAITH in others
Like faith, leadership is a CHOICE
CHOOSE to lead
CHOOSE to change



Learning from Pr Ben
·         Rebranding: rich man church vs caring church
·         Engaging the community: I (pastor) represents the church
·         We need to be the church not just IN the community for FOR the community



Learning from Pr Gideon
·         GLS creates opportunities to learn from others
·         In regards to relationship/courtship, you should focus on your character building now
·         In regards to relationship/courtship, is it for the sake of fulfilling your loneliness or for the sake of building others up
·         Jesus has the power to change Judas and at the same time Jesus also respects the freedom/free will of Judas
·         1st Peter 3: 16, Gentleness and respect
·         Do not use guilt to make a person serves (manipulate)
·         Keep encouraging and leave the response to people, even if the response is not what you expected
