Strategic Planning for You

Out of This World Leadership - For Post (7-2016)

Earlier this year, a good friend invited me to speak to Between Jobs Ministry in Spring, Texas (about an hour from where I live).  As I considered potential topics, I offered a behind-the-scenes look at HR:  how we review resumes, what we look for in a candidate, how we interview, and our decision & follow-up process.  We were headed down that path until another HR professional spoke on that topic (and provided a better presentation than I would have, I might add!) just a few weeks before I was scheduled to talk.

After regrouping, I considered what has worked for me in developing a Mission Statement and personal planning, so I offered to talk on “Strategic Planning for You:  A Dozen Ideas for Your Success.”

Managing Me

Last year, John Maxwell helped market some books by Dr. Stephen R. Graves.  Steve—a self-proclaimed organizational strategist, social innovator, pragmatic theologian, executive coach, and mentor—previously collaborated with Maxwell on a Life@Work series. Over the past 25 years, Graves has authored over 15 books aimed at teaching business people how to flourish in their life and work.

One of his books was a perfect fit for this month’s emphasis on showing discipline.  Entitled Managing Me: Why Some Leaders Build a Remarkable Legacy and Others Sadly Crumble, it’s about making the right decisions over and over in the areas that really matter.  It is up to you to manage you.

If you want to lead well at home, at work, or in your community or church, you should hear what Dr. Graves has to say.
