PRIESTHOOD OF ALL BELIEVERS

PRIESTHOOD OF ALL BELIEVERS

youversion.com

Note: The term “Christians” used in this article refers to those who are true followers of Jesus. “Christians” are the ones who are born again, who have personal relationship with Jesus, who has received Jesus as their Lord and King and as result they have become sons of God.

Many Christians think that God considers some workers more valuable than others—and at the top of the rung are missionaries, pastors and other people with “spiritual” vocations. 

If we’re honest, most of us probably buy into this thinking to some degree and believe there is a divide between the sacred and secular. After all, social workers and grant writers are more important to society than waste collectors and cashiers, right?

But that’s not true. During the Protestant Reformation, a doctrine was developed that has significantly altered the way many Christians understand themselves and their relation to God and others: the priesthood of all believers.

In sum, it teaches that all believers—no matter their personal history, ethnicity, occupation, you name it—are priests before God.

Prior to the Reformation, the western church taught that only clergy (ordained priests) had a sacred calling from God. But according to the apostle Peter, all Christians are priests: 

“You are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession” (1 Peter 2:9). 

Peter hearkens back to Exodus 19:6, where God tells Israel, “you will be for me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.”

Although the people of Israel failed in their priestly calling, Christ has restored to believers our true identity as royal priests. 

In him, we stand on equal footing with one another, and each of us has a vital role in carrying out God’s work.

There is one body, consisting of various parts, and one head, Christ. Each member, though distinct from the others, performs a different function and is equally vital for the health of the body.

Connecting

Christians are equally important, serving one Lord, yet they fulfill different roles for the sake of the church and the good of society. 

What makes work sacred is not the type of work that we do but the work of Christ in us. Those who have been baptized into Christ all have equal standing and have been called by him to do work that not only bears dignifying significance, but also gives glory to God. 

No matter what line of work you’re in, you have a special calling from God to work for his glory and for the benefit of others.

Do you see your work as part of God’s calling on your life to be his priest, representing him in the work that you do?

————

Such a powerful truth if only the body of Christ could understand this truth, the world would be such a better place. People would be free from guilt of not serving God if they are not a pastor, teacher, etc. 

Jesus, give the people ears to hear this truth!  Amen

There are no seasons of fruitlessness in the Kingdom of God!

There are no seasons of fruitlessness in the Kingdom of God!

Dr. Paul Taylor

Why Jesus cursed the fig tree?

“Now the next day, when they had come out from Bethany, He was hungry. 13And seeing from afar a fig tree having leaves, He went to see if perhaps He would find something on it. When He came to it, He found nothing but leaves, for it was not the season for figs.” Mark 11:12,13

This portion of scripture is not about food or Jesus being angry because there was no fruit on the fig tree.  No, Jesus is teaching His disciples and us about the Kingdom mindset or thinking.  I have always wondered why Jesus cursed the tree when it was not the season for fruit!  What right did He have to do that?

Here in lies the power of the Kingdom of God.  This portion of scripture is all about Kingdom thinking and having a renewed mind in Christ!  Jesus had every right to expect fruit because there are no seasons of fruitlessness in the Kingdom of God!  There are no seasons of want, of need, of sickness, of lack, of sorrow, of.…..there is only FULLNESS IN THE KINGDOM OF GOD!

Walking with God in the Kingdom is a walk of expectation, of hope, of faith!  The renewed mind allows us to believe for the possible, when with man it is impossible!  This message is continued when the disciples see the fig tree withered away because Jesus cursed it.  Do not focus on the curse, but focus on the expectation!  

The fig tree which You cursed has withered away.”

22So Jesus answered and said to them, “Have faith in God. 23For assuredly, I say to you, whoever saysto this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says. 24Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them. Mark 11:21-24

Jesus’ answer to their question was HAVE FAITH IN GOD!  IF YOU HAVE FAITH, YOU HAVE HOPE AND YOU CAN EXPECT GOD FOR THE IMPOSSIBLE.

1. We have the right to expect fruit (abundance, to prosper, provision) in an unfruitful season.  Remember there are no seasons with God.  Can you ever imagine thinking, “Well, this is not the season for God to answer my prayer!”  I don’t think so!  We would be of all people hopeless, but we are not hopeless.  We are people of faith believing God for the impossible!  

2. We have the right to expect the impossible to be possible!  With man things are impossible, but with God ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE!  This is the power of the mind of Christ and Kingdom thinking.  There are so many examples of Kingdom thinking, even in the Old Testament.   I encourage you to read the story of Jacob and Esau (Genesis 25-27) . Esau thought like a man and he sold his birthright as the first born to his brother Jacob.  Jacob realized and understood the importance of being first born.  When time came for the blessing from his father Abraham, even though he had to disguise himself as Esau, he had every right to answer his father’s question, “Who are you my son?”  Jacob answered, “I am Esau your first born.”  Why did he have the right to say this?  Because he had purchased Esau’s birthright!  Jesus is the firstborn and has purchased the birthright and we are in Him!  We have every right to say to our Heavenly Father, I am your son and have the right of the firstborn!  Bless me!!!!

3. We have the right to speak that, which is not, as though it was!  (as it is written, “I have made you a father of many nations”) ◙ in the presence of Him whom he believed—God, who gives life to the dead and calls those things which do not exist as though they did; 18who, contrary to hope, in hope believed, so that he became the father of many nations, according to what was spoken, “So shall your descendants be.” ◙ 19And not being weak in faith, he did not consider his own body, already dead (since he was about a hundred years old), and the deadness of Sarah’s womb. 20He did not waver at the promise of God through unbelief, but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God, 21and being fully convinced that what He had promised He was also able to perform. 22And therefore “it was accounted to him for righteousness.” Romans 4:17-22

My friends, today in whatever season you find yourself, put on the mind of Christ and BELIEVE!  Believe for fruit in a fruitless season.  Believe for the impossible.  Speak to that which is not, as though it was and you will receive it just as Abraham received Isaac.  I believe in you!

The Power of One - Dr Paul Taylor

The Power 

of One 

Dr. Paul Taylor

John 4:4: “But He (Jesus) needed to go through Samaria.”

As I have been praying about the path of my own life the Lord has spoken to me about the power of one person.  We are so conditioned to believe that bigger is better and the larger the meeting the more anointed we are.  I am not putting down anyone.  I believe God is trying to address a pattern of thinking in each of our lives that needs to change.  Maybe He is just speaking to me and I receive that also. 

I grew up with the American church mindset.  The larger the church, the more successful the pastor.  The larger the meetings, the more anointed the evangelist.  Numbers pointed to success and to the importance of that person or ministry.  So this was the reasoning behind my pursuit of building a large church and ministry.  Let me say that numbers are important because they do represent people and Jesus loves people.  But numbers have little to do with a person’s success or anointing.  Obedience is the one and only standard of success that God places on us.  Will we obey the voice of the Lord no matter what?

In John 4, Jesus left the place of ministry to multitudes and was on His way to Galilee when He needed to make a visit to a place that was not accepted by the Jews.  He needed to speak to a woman who was not accepted by her own people, never mind the Jews.  She was a Samaritan.  She was a woman of ill repute.  Meaning she was living with a man who was not her husband at the time Jesus arrived though she was married before with some husbands. Jesus did not go there by chance.  He went there because that is where His Father wanted Him to be to speak to one person – this woman!

This woman becomes a missionary!  Amazing!  I want to challenge you to think about all the ONES that Jesus singled out in the midst of His travels and changed their lives.  These encounters did not happen in the context of a large church service, but on the way to some place that He was going!  In the midst of His travels Jesus obeyed the voice of His Father and touched the leper, healed the blind, raised the dead, ate with sinners, met with a Samaritan, forgave the woman taken in adultery, and the list goes on.

Jesus was not controlled by religious doctrine, but obeyed the voice of His Father.  He often left the multitudes to do what no one else would do.  Let me ask you these questions;

·         Is it more important to abide by church doctrine or to obey the voice of the Lord?

·         Is ONE person as important as the multitudes?

·         Is it more important to go to church with all of your brothers and sisters in the Lord or to recognize the person in need in daily life and share God’s love with that ONE person?

·         Are you willing to be ridiculed for doing something that is forbidden by the church, to obey what God is telling you to do?

·         Are you able to think for yourself or are you controlled by the multitudes?

I want to challenge you to listen to the voice of the Holy Spirit and begin to recognize His directions as you go about your daily business.  The ONES that God will direct you to are just as important as the multitudes that you may have the privilege to minister to in a church service.

Who knows, that ONE person may be the one to save a nation, like Rahab the prostitute or become the mother of influence like Ruth or Mary Magdalene who had seven demons or Zacheus, the tax collector and on and on we could list the ONES who God singled out to make a difference for His Kingdom.

·     You will have to hear His voice and obey.

·     You will have to overcome what others say.

·     You will have to think for yourself!

·     You must have to break the rules of religion to follow Jesus!

·     You will have to overcome the church mindset to see the ONE is just as important as the multitudes when directed by the Holy Spirit!

There is no substitute for obedience!  Look for the power of one and obey!  You are just as anointed as the evangelist speaking to millions!  Beware, you may find yourself in Samaria!  Be strong and stand for Him!  Be a Champion!

Five Strategies of Exceptional Leaders: 1 - Cultivating Positude

Cultivating Positude: a Positive Attitude.

We have talked about the five strategies that surround the EPIC. 

Five Strategies that cultivate an EPIC Leader. Please, click here

Remember EPIC stands for Ethics, Principles, Integrity, and Character.  

Before going forward you should think about these basic questions: 

What is your purpose? Why do you exist? What do you want to accomplish? What are your dreams? Think about your purpose in life. As a student. As a husband. As a father. As a son. As an orphan. As a teacher. As a king. As a champion. As an SouLutionist. As a revolutionary. 

One of the most important strategies to being this kind of leader is to cultivate Positude!  A positive attitude!  

Here is an action plan to Positiude.

1. Consider the people you associate with.

• Build a longer list of those that encourage you.

2. Map out your goals.

• Spend 15-20 minutes with a blank sheet of paper and try to list 15 to 20 goals that will bring you closer to your purpose.

3. Serve your associates.

• Consider sending a helpful tool to 4-5 friends today.

• Consider a few “thank you’s.”

4. Ask questions.

• Try listening 70% of each conversation.

5. Apply the Principle of the Slight Edge.

• It’s the details, the little things that can make a great difference.

6. Celebrate your uniqueness.

• You don’t have to be just like everyone else.

7. Build a collaborative culture.

• Encourage innovation and creativity.

• Demand excellence not perfection.

8. Follow through.

• Thing of the things you have not yet finished and do it now.

9. Learn the art of positive criticism.

• Praise in public; Reorientation or correction in private.

10. Turn obstacles into opportunities.

• This includes past failures.  Don’t let yesterdays mistakes keep you from moving forward today.

These are some very important thoughts and things we all need to apply to our lives on a regular basis.  You may need to address these things on a monthly basis.  

Success is doing the right things over and over again.  Sometimes we need reminders and this list can be very helpful.

I want you now to think about this quote from one of America’s great leaders.  Jack Welsh, the former CEO of General Electric once said, 

"Before you are a leader, success is all about growing yourself.  When you become a leader, success is all about growing others.”

Tell why you agree or disagree with this statement.  Remember we are developing servant leaders with Jesus Christ being our model.

You might also want to define a “servant leader.”  

Most people in business want to climb the ladder of success by stepping on other people in their journey.  That is not the model of success that we are promoting.  

I pray that these thoughts will encourage you to grow your self and others.  They come from ROI and it is my privilege to pass them along to you.

We desperate need fathers by Dr. Paul Taylor

I shared a prophetic word over all of you. (Read here) You are spiritual fathers to your nation.  That God is raising up a generation that will lead nations out of poverty and out of the past!

Prophetic words guide us to move forward in the direction that God has already been speaking to us.  Prophetic words must be accompanied by action!  Actions that coupled with training so that we can fulfill the Word of the Lord.  I can prophesy that you are fathers, but if I don’t help you to gain the necessary tools of fatherhood, then I am setting you up to fail!  The Holy Spirit is going to help you, but there is a need to be trained, and equipped to do what the Holy Spirit has revealed to you.

Just as the apostle Paul shared with the Corinthians, “For though you might have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet you do not have many fathers; for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the gospel.”  1Cor. 4:15

Men have in them the ability to impregnate a woman and bring forth a child, BUT THAT DOES NOT MAKE THEM A FATHER!  There is a huge difference between having a child and being a father!  So for me to just expect you to father your children, both spiritual and blood born is a mistake, without giving you the tools that are necessary to be good fathers!

We are living in a fatherless generation.  There is an orphan spirit that prevails in our world today.  Josimar spoke to this in his previous message. (Read here) This is what the Holy Spirit is speaking of at this moment and has been trying to help the church to understand for many years.  Many Pastors want to grow their church, but they are men having children, not fathers raising Kingdom sons and world changers!!!

I am not sure how many of you have children of your own, but fathering begins first with your blood born children!  Paul spoke to Timothy about in 1 Timothy 3 by giving Timothy the qualifications of a leader.  They had to first have their personal home in order, before they could lead others.  THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM IN THE CHURCH TODAY AND WHY WE DO NOT HAVE MANY SPIRITUAL FATHERS.

This is an incredibly important subject because the building block of all nations is the home.  This is why marriage is so important and why it is under attack.  Divorce in our society today is on the increase.  Unfaithful marriage partners is a common way of life with many.  Homosexual relationships is a direct attack on God’s creation of family.  All of these relational issues contribute to the lack of fathers in our world today.  

I am not going to assume that you know what a good father does or who he is as a person, but the Word of God gives us everything we need to become who He created us to be.  Ladies you can be spiritual fathers also, so please don’t think I am leaving you out.  Begin by being a good mother.

Here are three things that came to me as I have been praying and thinking about this subject.

A good father:

1. Delights in his children.  “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”  Matthew 3:17.   “For whom the Lord loves He corrects, Just as a father the son in whom he delights.”  Prov. 3:12  That word delight means to approve, to be pleased with, to accept.  God delights in us as His children and it has nothing to do with what you do, but everything to do with who you are!  You are His son!  He is proud of you!  He boasts about you!  He speaks words of praise and purpose over your life.  He sees the good in you and His words are not flattery, but words of purpose because He is guiding you into your destiny.

This is what a good father does.  He sees the strengths and gifts in his child and he guides them, does not control them, but leads them to succeed at an early age.  Every person is created with a gift or talent.  It is your job as a father to discover that gift and then guide your child to success.  Every child is different, but they have some area that they are good at.  Find it and help them to succeed.  Early success and praise builds self esteem for a lifetime!  Remember the power of your words and use them to create a positive picture for your child to see!

2. Disciplines his children.  “For whom the Lord loves He corrects…” Prov. 3:12  “Furthermore, we have had human fathers who corrected us, and we paid them respect. Shall we not much more readily be in subjection to the Father of spirits and live? 10For they indeed for a few days chastened us as seemed best to them, but He for our profit, that we may be partakers of His holiness. 11Now no chastening seems to be joyful for the present, but painful; nevertheless, afterward it yields the peaceable fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it.”  Hebrews 12:9-11

This is where many fathers fail.  Discipline is the key to training a child to succeed.  Many fathers fail to properly correct their children.  Correction or discipline is what guides a child in the way they should go.  They need this guidance to reach their destiny.  They will not reach their destiny very often when left to themselves.  God gave us fathers and mothers for a reason and this is true spiritually also.  Discipline is a key tool in your parental tool chest.  Remember it is discipline with love!  Who the Lord loves He corrects!  The same is true of a father.  If you love your child you will discipline them in love to guide them in the way of righteousness.  We must be trained, disciplined to overcome our Adamic nature, sin nature to do wrong.  Have you ever wondered why you do not have to teach a child to do wrong?  It is our fallen nature and therefore we must have fathers to train us to do right!  A child left to himself brings shame to his parents!  

It is of the utmost importance that you BE the person that you want your children to be!  You can’t train someone to be something that you are not!  Be the role model for them to follow.  Paul said, “Follow me.”  Jesus said, “Follow me.”  A true father says, “Follow me.”  Your words will mean nothing unless you support them with your actions!!!  This takes discipline on your part father!!!!

3. Places a demand or expectation on his children.  There are many parables of Jesus that teach us that God our Father has an expectation of us.  Read the parable of the minas or talents in Luke 19:11-27.  Each person received something to work with and when the master returned he expected a return on his investment.  

The creator, expects something out of His creation!  This is simply commonsense.  You were created for a purpose.  Fathers help you discover that purpose and then fulfill it.  A father’s expectation actually motivates the child to please his father.  I know in my life I always wanted to please my parents and when I did it brought them great pleasure.  My success, was their success and their joy, became my joy.  They trained me to succeed!  Anything less than that would not have been acceptable.  This did not happen by chance!  This happened because they trained me, they invested in me, they spoke words of praise and purpose over me.  They did not wait until I was an adult to tell me. “We expect you to succeed.”  No!  They planted seeds of success in me from a little child.  They prayed over me from conception!  I did the same for my children!  It works!!!!

These are only three areas that are part of being a good father.  Let me share one last thing.  I believe in in the power of my words and in the name I give my children.  Names are powerful.  I remember my wife and I had plaques made with our children’s names and their meanings and placed them on the wall.  As I have married each child to their spouse I have created a blessing that I spoke over them at their wedding.  I found an amazing thing!  The child became what we named them!  We named my son Cory.  Cory means “prosperous one.”  Cory has become very prosperous.  He has amazing gifts to discern people and has used it to become very successful in the banking industry.  I could share the name of each of my children and you would see that they became what we named them.  Fathers, speak blessing over your children.  If you believe in them, they will learn to believe in themselves and in their Heavenly Father who created them!

Keep believing for the impossible!

Five Strategies that cultivate an EPIC Leader by Dr Paul Taylor

Five Strategies that cultivate an EPIC Leader

We continue our training on leadership.  Not just any kind of leader, but an exceptional leader.  

Epic is a word that means heroic; majestic; impressively great.  

It was used especially in poetry to tell a story about a hero or about exciting events or adventures.

An EPIC leader is one who is characterized by having these traits.

Ethics

Principles

Integrity

Character

ROI conducted extensive research and found these five strategies to be consistent with exceptional or EPIC leaders.

1. Cultivate Positude.

Everyone talks about the importance of attitude – with good reason.   Attitude always comes up in conversations with high achievers in all types of professions as the top factor in their success.  It is vital to cultivate a positive attitude thus we coined the word “Positude.”  If you are going to be an EPIC leader you must not only possess a positive attitude, but you must cultivate positude in the people around you.

2. Lead by Serving.

Great leaders from the past and present agree that the leader who serves others is the most effective.  What greater example do we have than Jesus Christ!

3. Dare to make a difference.

Difference makers have vision, are willing to take risks, know how to tune into the inner voice and have found the way to serve the vision not the other way around.  Remember the soulutionist is one who lives from the inner man where we draw our strength from who we are in Christ.  This is what makes us change agents in our communities.

4. Embrace and Employ Discipline.

While this may sound like a business principle; like most of the others it is a principle of leadership.  Therefore it is present in leaders in all areas, whether it is business, government, non-profit or church.  Self-discipline separates exceptional leaders from acceptable leaders.

5. Update your snapshot regularly (forgiveness).

Don’t get stuck in the old ways of thinking about people, projects, yourself and the world around you.  One of the more difficult things for people to do is to forget the past, to forgive mistakes, to give people a second or even a third chance.  Great leaders are able to see change, forgive the past and move forward to achieve the vision.

Which is the most important?  There is no order of importance or sequence. Exceptional leaders don’t possess one or two of these strategies.  They develop all of them.  These strategies are all interrelated.  These 5 strategies, when wrapped around an EPIC core produce exceptional leadership.

 The EPIC Core is not a strategy, it is your identity.

 Related more to who you are than what you do.

 What’s inside a person.

 Ethics, Principles, Integrity and Character.

 Backbone, Convictions, Purpose, Fortitude, Internal Strength, Core Values.

 Without an EPIC Core, your leadership will not be exceptional.  (That does not mean, however, that you will be ineffective.)

 In conjunction with an EPIC Core, the 5 strategies are far more powerful.

Your assignment is to write down how you can cultivate each of these 5 strategies in your life as a leader.  Let me remind you that great leaders lead their family.  Be an exceptional husband, father, son, daughter, mother, sister, etc!  Everything begins in the home!  You can discuss this with others if you would like.  You do not need to send me your answers, but you are welcome to comment on the training.

Keep believing for the impossible!

Five Strategies of Exceptional Leaders. Dr. Paul Taylor

I would like to start a short training on "Five Strategies of Exceptional Leaders."  

Remember one of the purposes of REAL is to develop our leadership skills.  

As John Maxwell has said, "Everything rises and falls with leadership."  WE ARE ALL LEADERS!  The question is "What kind of leader are you?"

"My grandfather once told me that there were two kinds of people: those who do the work and those who take the credit.  He told me to try to be in the first group.  There is much less competion."

• Indira Gandhi.

There was a survey asked to many businessmen about leadership qualities and characteristics.  They were asked to order what they felt were the most important leadership qualities.  Here is the list from 1 to 10.

1. Honesty   83%

2.  Competent   67%

3.  Forward looking or having vision 62%

4.  Inspiring   58%

5.  Intelligent   43%

6. Fair Minded   40%

7.  Broad Minded (open to new things) 37%

8.  Straightforward 34%

9.  Imaginative 34%

10. Dependable 33%

Isn’t it interesting that the number one quality of a businessperson is honesty!  We hear all the time about dishonest business people.  Many believe that you have to be dishonest to succeed in business.  Do you?  Is that really the kind of person you want to be?  High School students in the United States were asked if they believed they needed to lie, cheat and steal to be successful.  Over half of them responded yes!  This is why people do not trust people today, especially in business.  The successful businesses are built on honesty, integrity and character!

Here are some quotes on leadership.

“The true measurement of leadership is influence; nothing more, nothing less.” John Maxwell

“Leadership is a potent combination of strategy and character.  But if you must be without one, be without strategy.” General Norman Schwarzkopf:  United States General

“Leadership is letting go in the doing, but not letting go in the guiding.” Dave Thomas; Chairman and Founder of Wendy’s

“Leadership is the art of accomplishing more than the science of management says is possible.” Colin Powell

“Leadership is the ability to take people beyond their natural skills to the fulfillment of dreams.” Rich Marshall

“There go my people and I must catch them for I am their leader.” Gandhi

“Leadership is the ability to inspire confidence, determine direction and to serve with character and integrity.” ROI Leadership focus group

It is now your turn.  I want you to take a few minutes and write your own definition of leadership.

Leadership is ……

Please send your definitions to Dr. Josimar and to Dr. Taylor!

Acceptable vs. Exceptional Leadership

One of the biggest problems that we face in the business world is complacency.  People become satisfied very easily with the status quo, mediocrity!

The question is “Will you be satisfied with acceptable leadership or will you push to excel?”  

We should never be satisfied with mediocrity.  

I once preached a message entitled “God hates vanilla!”  Vanilla ice cream is acceptable, but God wants exceptional leaders.

Here are the differences between:

Acceptable Leaders Exceptional Leaders

1.  Have convictions Live convictions

2.  Career focused Calling focused

(it’s all about me) (it’s all about the cause)

3.  Understand Vision Understand the purpose

and Mission behind vision nd mission

4.  Is motivated Is motivated

by activity/results by shared vision

5.  Motivates others minds Motivates others hearts

6.  Operates within the rules Operates with passion towards vision and

and regulations mission

7.  Core beliefs are situational Core beliefs are integrated in life and work

I hope that you can see the difference between the two kinds of leaders.  

One is being a certain kind of person because of his job.  

The other is that person and

they excel at their job because of it.

There are 5 levels of leadership to become an Exceptional Leader.

Exceptional Leader

Level 5

Effective Leader

Level 4

Competent Leader

Level 3

Contributing Team Member

Level 2

Highly Capable Individual

Level 1

Level 5: Exceptional Leader

They are ambitious first and foremost for the cause, the movement, the mission, the

work---not themselves---and have the will to do whatever it takes to make good on

that ambition.

Level 4: Effective Leader

Catalyzes commitment to and vigorous pursuit of a clear and compelling vision,

stimulating higher performance standards.

Level 3: Competent Manager

Organizes people and resource toward the effective and efficient pursuit of

predetermined objectives.

Level 2: Contributing Team Member

Contributes individual capabilities to the achievement of group objectives, and

works effectively with others in a group setting.

Level 1: Highly Capable Individual

Makes productive contributions through talent, knowledge, skills and good work habits.

Which level would you be on at this time in your life?  

We all need to grow in the

area of leadership.  

Are you growing?  Are you stuck?

From the above chart, are you acceptable or exceptional?  

REAL is about exceptional leaders who are visionary

leaders understanding the purpose and the cause!

We will continue this training after you have responded to my questions.

This material is a part of ROI Leadership, Inc. 2006 Developing people, building business

I have had the pleasure of working with this group in the past and use the material to train leaders.
