Building Leaders Today, Creating Legacies for Tomorrow

Leading Through Difficult Times:
Many years ago, the Israelites were captured and exiled to Babylon. Some of the Israelite leaders were instructing the people not to adjust to their new conditions in anticipation of escaping. After awhile, a message came from the nation's true leader to make peace with their captors, to build homes and families and prepare the way for the next generation to return to their home land as a stronger people than the ones that left. The people lived in relative peace and prosperity amongst their captors and the next generation was able to return to their homeland in great numbers.

Mike's Thoughts:
As a leader, often people tell me that they are just going to sit back and wait for their situation to change; or for some external circumstance to change in their favor. All I can say is NO! We cannot just sit idly by and expect positive changes in our lives. We must take action and keep moving forward to improve our current situations and prepare a better way for the next generation. This is the essence of Legacy Leadership; seeking appropriate actions, taking the appropriate actions and preparing the way for the next generation.

Mike's Action Points:
1- I will seek wisdom to know the appropriate actions to take.
2- I will take the appropriate actions when I feel confident in them.
3- I will work to prepare the way for the next generation.
