3 Statements for Millennial Leaders

We are creating a generation of leaders that people will never meet face to face. This is a very big concern for many that would be categorized as older leaders. This really means that integrity means more than it ever has because we can seemingly get away with not being 100% truthful.

You hit the nail on the head that it is hard or impossible to come back when you have fallen. In our day of high social media we must be careful at how quickly we judge someone. Many times we judge or misinterpret someone’s well meaning decisions as wrong; even before we take the time to look deeper into an event or circumstance.

Youth is to be spontaneous… Smart is learning from your mistakes… Wisdom comes from learning from other peoples mistakes and not making the same.

The only other thing I would add is to find & surround yourself with other leaders from whom you can learn. They will help you guard your integrity, refine your vision & strategy, & encourage your passion while keeping you humble.

Unfortunately, many young leaders feel cut off from those a little further down the road. Be bold, reach out to leaders who can mentor you.

I need to keep saying these three statements to myself.

Deep and insightful.

One more piece of advice, lead by example, dont just delegate.

I like this post. Good job! I think humility is probably the most Important thing on this list and it is a constant struggle.

I am an identical twin and I have two younger twin brothers. Growing up we competed over everything. We competed in sports, grades and even who could get the attention from certain girls. In college I got involved in an awesome campus ministry and got stoked on sharing Jesus and making disciples. Before long it was easy for me to translate my competitiveness from the sports world into the ministry world. We just had a new way of keeping score.
