Welcome back! It's good to see you again. Please note that I am now publishing all new material at my hub site: StephenPSmith.com
If you haven’t caught up with Leadership Journal in a while, their recent edition focuses on teams and how they lead. I was especially fascinated by an article about how one church went from a one pastor model to a team approach of four men who lead together.
Can you imagine if every church was led by four instead of one? Blows your mind doesn‘t it?
The featured church, Next Level Church in Denver, explained how their model allows for deeper service, more humility, greater accountability and a healthy buffer in case one leader falls. It also allows for a community to get things done. Maybe, just maybe, it decreases the amount of ‘leadership complaining’.
All of us complain about our leaders. I just wish they would do more of this… Why can’t he be more like… It drives me crazy when… When you practice GTD, you are putting next-action thinking into play. You stop looking around and wondering why it isn‘t moving fast enough and
you
start
making it happen.
This of course builds you up as someone who actually produces results. You are then able to do the work of four instead of one.

Hopson’s new career is based upon the premise that he knows how to take adversity and turn it into success, and he believes that it is a message many people want to hear from just a regular guy faced with his share of obstacles.
“Years of scandals in the corporate world have soured audiences on pep talks from well-paid executives, but the skepticism softens when a speaker like myself who wears a hearing aid and speaks with a ‘distinctive voice’ walks onstage and talks about overcoming adversity,” he says.
“The fact that I have never heard a sound in my life, and yet managed to build a successful career … brings tremendous credibility to the table. After people hear me speak, they cannot possibly go back to work making excuses for themselves.”
Stephen is an awesome individual, and I do not say that lightly. Check out his site and stop making excuses!
