Welcome to LEAD weekly.
Episode #13
Welcome back
to LEAD weekly, practical tips
to help you grow as a leader. Today I have asked Ramon to share
with us how he wants to grow as a leader.
Before we get into that video, I want to remind you
that every LEAD weekly video
has both English and Spanish subtitles.
Simply click on the "CC" in the
bottom right hand corner to turn these on.
For those of you who are English speakers,
you'll want to turn on those English subtitles today. We have the privilege
from hearing from Ramon in Spanish and we don't want to miss
what he has to share.
I believe that values are the cornerstone
of our ministry, along with
our faith. Growing in our values
makes the ministry grow and push
forward to new places, new challenges,
and new decisions.
I also think that in any role
the values are something we should always
use as a basis for our decision making.
Whether it's daily decisions, long term vision, or short term.
Because once you
make a decision, if you believe that decision represents our values,
then you can be more confident
to know that the decision comes from God.
That the decision is going to
advance the ministry and the people we serve.
Personally, the value with which
I struggle the most,
that represents the greatest challenge for me,
would be invite.
So in order to learn, I have to put myself
in situations that force me
into a situation or
in a place where I see myself obligated
to invite, to then learn how to do it better.
An example that I can give you right now is, that in this moment
Rancho is in total quarantine, and I would like
to be doing more
than I can
I would like to do everything, but I know that I can't
do everything, so I have to invite others.
There are people that are gifted in different ways.
And the staff feel...
They feel supported. So I think
that holding myself back and
and embodying one of the values, in this case invite
and inviting others to participate, has been
a great step forward for Rancho, why?
Because in this moment people are seeing
a value embodied and seeing in other people
other Back2Back values. So,
this is going to help other people also invite others.
This is going to help so that other people later also see
that we all have to learn.
So it would be
something for all of us.
