Building Kingdom-Minded Organizations

How to Build Kingdom-Minded Orgs

After my proposal to teach a Workshop for the Christian Leadership Alliance’s 2015 Outcomes Conference (click here for more information) was accepted, I looked at some of the other presenters. Mark A. Griffin of “In HIS Name HR” caught my attention.

I read his book How To Build “Kingdom Minded” Organizations in October and called him for a mentoring conversation. Following a career covering more than twenty years in human resources (HR) at both Fortune 500 (Kodak, Quaker Oats, and Merck) and small and mid-sized companies, Mark started his own HR consulting firm. We had a great conversation and made a connection.

Griffin notes that what made him decide to leave his corporate job and name his firm “In HIS Name HR, Christian Business Consulting” was his reflection upon Matthew 25:14–30, which says, “His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master’s happiness!’”

Griffin’s book provides—as he puts it—good news for tumultuous times, giving employees hope and a future in this upside down world.

The Law of Navigation

#4 Navigation

This week’s devotions from the John Maxwell Leadership Bible focus on the fourth law (of twenty-one) of leadership—the Law of Navigation.

Leaders who navigate see the whole trip in their minds before they leave the dock. They have a vision for their destination, they understand what it will take to get there, they know who they’ll need on the team to be successful, and they recognize the obstacles long before they appear on the horizon.

Above all, the secret to the Law of Navigation is preparation. When you prepare well, you convey confidence and trust to your team. Learn how Nehemiah exemplifies this leadership law.
