Tremendous Leadership

09/07/2024

The newest release from Tremendous Leadership launched today! I first met author Dr. Peter W. Teague during his tenure as President at Lancaster Bible College | Capital Seminary & Graduate School. He is one of my mentors and a leader I admire in many ways. Be sure to pick up a copy for you and your team.

What does it mean to be a Jesus Leader? Someone who closely follows our Savior’s example in how we live and love others? Who demonstrates Christ-like character and the leadership qualities and principles we see Jesus modeling for us while He walked this earth?

From fifty years of experience in Christian leadership, Dr. Peter W. Teague speaks to the urgent mission of authentic Jesus leadership in our Christian organizations, churches, and educational institutions. He lays out the character traits, defining marks, and habits of a successful Jesus as a leader. Conversely, we will discuss the killers of good leadership and how to avoid them. Dr. Teague also offers practical tools and wise counsel for specific stages of the leadership journey. Balancing workplace with marriage and home. Building a top-notch team. Effective Christian stewardship. Fundraising God’s way.

Dr. Teague’s ultimate desire and challenge for every reader of this book is to apply its pages to God’s call on your life, then think and live as a Jesus leader who wants to impact your world and its inhabitants. As you lead your organization in whatever calling you have received from God, may your leadership be always and in all ways excellence-driven, Christ-centered, people-focused, and future-directed.

A gorgeous day with my sisters in Christ for the Ten Million for Christ Women's Luncheon. The theme was Dahlias and how we transform from tuber to bloomer. The location and setup were gorgeous, as was the attention to detail and the presence of the Holy Spirit. And even though it's approaching fall, they had a garden party theme where we wore hats!! Thank you so much Tiffany Blitz and Gerry Blitz, for the honor of fellowshipping with you. And it's great to see new and old friends!!

Escalate, Chunk, Connect: The Tremendous Way to Tackle Problems

A tremendous life is not devoid of problems. My father, Charlie "Tremendous" Jones, would quip, "Of course you've got problems; you're not dead!" Personal development legend Dr. Norman Vincent Peale maintained that the more problems you have, the more alive you are. Pain is mandatory; suffering is not. So, allow me to share some tremendous tips and tools to help you deal with your life's issues, challenges, and bad habits.

As a project manager, I've had my fair share of challenges. I've learned the value of 'Escalation' in the semiconductors and defense industries, where being on budget and on time was crucial. This term refers to a communication process whereby the project manager alerts all stakeholders involved that there's an issue that will impact a deliverable. It could be a defective part, a natural disaster, a change in the scope of work, or even new regulations.

I've discovered that any problem can be solved with the right resources and time; the earlier you act, the better your chances of success. So, if you're reading this today and dealing with an issue plaguing you, it's time to escalate! Determine precisely what you need to remedy the situation or remove the obstacle.

The second term I learned in project management was "Chunking." Chunking means breaking down tasks into smaller, actionable items. As they say, "Inch by inch, life's a cinch. Yard by yard, life is hard."

I was getting my nails done today when I ran into a dear friend. We both shared how we began taking our mothers for manicures when they were in their 80s and into their 90s. My friend commented that her mother was a chronic nail-biter when she was younger. Then, one day, she devised a brilliant plan to break this habit. She only nibbled on nine nails for a week and let one grow. The following week, she allowed two to grow and focused on only eight. You get the picture. In ten weeks, she had conquered this problem that had plagued her her entire life, one finger at a time! And as a recovered nail-biter myself, I know how challenging this habit is to break.

The final piece of advice is to stay in relationship with others. Billions of people like you and me have walked this earth. There is nothing new under the sun, and that includes problems. So, if you're struggling, share that burden with someone whose input you value. Remember, a burden shared is a burden lifted.
Much of the loneliness we place on ourselves because we are embarrassed, ashamed, or just plain confused is self-induced.

Those older than 50 know that social media is the only place a perfect life exists. Others are in your life to bless you, so don't block the pipeline by isolating yourself. Freely share, ask, and receive.
So, whatever you're facing, remember these three things:
Escalate immediately and keep escalating until things are back on track.

Chunk that problem into bite-size morsels. As they say, how do you eat an elephant? One chunk at a time! Stay Connected. Life is meant to be done in community, whether in joy or anguish.

Remember these tips, and you'll find yourself navigating life's challenges with tremendous ease and grace.

Memorial Day reminds us of the profound sacrifices made by our military's brave men and women. These individuals have blessed America and many free peoples worldwide through their unwavering commitment and profound sense of willing sacrifice. Their actions have shaped and continue to shape our nation, reminding us of our shared responsibility to honor their memory.

Our military members have answered the call of duty with unwavering courage, even when it cost them everything. Their selflessness and bravery uphold the freedoms we cherish today. On this Memorial Day, we honor the memory of those who have made the ultimate sacrifice. We also deeply admire and respect the strength and resilience of their families, who have borne the weight of loss with grace and dignity.

We will never forget the sacrifices these heroes and their loved ones made. Their legacy of service and sacrifice continues to inspire us all. Let us take a moment to reflect on their contributions and express our deepest gratitude.

In remembrance of our heroes.

May the moments of gratitude be as plentiful as the autumn leaves, and may we all come to embrace the privilege of learning to be thankful, not just on this occasion, but in every season of our lives.

Thank you for being a source of inspiration and a guiding light.

Wishing you a Thanksgiving filled with joy, reflection, and the company of those you hold dear.

The latest Leaders on Leadership podcast is out! Listen as Tremendous Tracey interviews Lisa Michener on what it takes to pay the price of leadership!

"Nobody has as many negative things to say as we think. That’s an internal voice. We think that everybody’s like, “She can’t do it. Why are you even doing it?” It’s ourselves and helping people to help us. " Lisa Michener

Our Tremendous guest on the latest Leaders of Leadership podcast is Lisa Michener! Leadership is often seen as a rapid journey towards perfection. However, the most effective and influential leaders know that being present and embracing their entire selves – including their flaws – is the way to go.

In this episode, I chat with Lisa Michener, a chief communications and marketing officer for more than a decade. Lisa talks about embracing moments of loneliness as growth opportunities and why having downtime should never be seen as a sign of weakness. She also shares the role of her mother in shaping her personal vision, the importance of humility in leadership, and the power of saying no in building a more fulfilled version of yourself.

I got the honor of MC'ing an event at the National Constitution Center last week. After it was done, I went to Signer's Hall and saw all the statues of the men there when this great nation was formed. Here I am talking to Benjamin Franklin, imagining what words must have transpired amongst this group of tremendous individuals. As a writer and publisher, I am so aware of the power of words. And the power of the words created here gave birth to a nation like no other 🙏💙
