Leadership, Faith, Honesty and other examples of Goodness

Defeating the problem of toxic work cultures starts with one foundational premise: building up servant-leaders who set the tone for creating a positive environment for inspiring human performance.

Answering these 10 questions (honestly) with "often" or "almost always" would certainly indicate that you may be fit to lead at a high level:
1. I trust my workers.
2. I create an environment that encourages learning and growth.
3. I allow my workers to help determine where our team is headed.
4. I am trustworthy.
5. I work to maintain positive working relationships.
6. I don't hesitate to provide the leadership that is needed.
7. I give my workers the power to make important decisions.
8. I provide the support and resources needed to help my workers meet their goals.
9. I am open to receiving criticism and challenge from others.
10. I use my power and authority to benefit my workers.

Think Arizona almost did something horrible? Well "Oklahoma is doing it anyway,"

From Glenn Stanfield:

Oklahoma is the only state that Obama did not win even one county in the last election... While everyone is focusing on Arizona ’s new law, look what Oklahoma has been doing!!!!

An update from Oklahoma :

Oklahoma law passed, 37 to 9 an amendment to place the Ten Commandments on the front entrance to the state capitol. The feds in D.C., along with the ACLU, said it would be a mistake. Hey this is a conservative state, based on Christian values...! HB 1330

Guess what.......... Oklahoma did it anyway.

Oklahoma recently passed a law in the state to incarcerate all illegal immigrants, and ship them back to where they came from unless they want to get a green card and become an American citizen. They all scattered. HB 1804. This was against the advice of the Federal Government, and the ACLU, they said it would be a mistake.

Guess what.......... Oklahoma did it anyway.

Recently we passed a law to include DNA samples from any and all illegal's to the Oklahoma database, for criminal investigative purposes. Pelosi said it was unconstitutional SB 1102

Guess what......... Oklahoma did it anyway.

Several weeks ago, we passed a law, declaring Oklahoma as a Sovereign state, not under the Federal Government directives. Joining Texas , Montana and Utah as the only states to do so.

More states are likely to follow: Louisiana, Alabama, Georgia, Carolina's, Tennessee, Kentucky, Missouri, Arkansas, West Virginia, Mississippi and Florida. Save your confederate money, it appears the South is about to rise up once again. HJR 1003

The federal Government has made bold steps to take away our guns. Oklahoma, a week ago, passed a law confirming people in this state have the right to bear arms and transport them in their vehicles. I'm sure that was a setback for the criminals The Liberals didn't like it -- But....

Guess what........... Oklahoma did it anyway.

Just this month, the state has voted and passed a law that ALL drivers’ license exams will be printed in English, and only English, and no other language. They have been called racist for doing this, but the fact is that ALL of the road signs are in English only. If you want to drive in Oklahoma , you must read and write English. Really simple.

By the way, the Liberals don't like any of this either

Guess what...who cares... Oklahoma is doing it anyway.

If you like it, pass it on, if you don't then delete it...Thanks Guess what : they people I'm sending this to , will send it on. Well, at least the ones who love and believe in freedom will.

It seems this cult of safety is advancing further into our vocabulary.

It is a terrible value to base your year on.

Imagine if the greats of history had decided to live “safe” lives, instead of good ones? Simply take those listed in Hebrews 11 – Abraham, Moses, Joseph, Rahab, Samson, Gideon… The list speaks for itself.

Living for safety first will see you rendered next to useless.

It is my genuine hope that I’ll continue to do many things this year that are not very safe.

Because I hope to do what is characterised as “good,” not what is characterised as “safe.”

Living for what is good and right involves risk and it involves pain - plenty of both.

But when you do what is right, you can confidently entrust your safety to God.

That is, God who says continuously to those who do such things, “Fear not, for I am with you.”

This emerging safety cult is best nipped in the bud. Stop saying it and don’t start believing it.

Meanwhile, I wish you a year in which you, “seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness,” knowing that, “all these things shall be added unto you.” (even safety!) (Matt 6:33)

Now, there's something to base a year on.
