Harvard and the Holy Word
Time Tested Leadership Principles – 2nd Edition
Blog | Craig McAndrews | March 06, 2018
When it comes to authority on leadership and leadership development it is easy to identify Harvard as one of the premier institutions in the space. According to Wikipedia, the Harvard Business Review was founded in 1922 with the intention of being the highest type of business journal that the school could produce. Over the years the publication has captured the attention of leaders from around the world. It has consistently positioned itself as second to none when it comes to sophisticated research and practical techniques to influence modern business. When the Harvard Business Review s

Where did that come from? is a question we might ask when things don’t go exactly as we planned, we might feel blindfolded, blindsided or groping in the dark. We might wonder, What have I done to deserve this? We feel desperate and plummeting downward in a nosedive; can’t seem to get our bearings. When we are in the middle of a blind, helpless descent, why me? is the query we ask our Creator as we beg Him to stop the pain.

A few days ago, my wife and I were watching Good Morning America. Michael Strahan was interviewing Logan Paul, a celebrity video blogger on YouTube. Paul has been in the news lately for his poor decision in airing controversial footage showing the corpse of an apparent suicide victim in Japan’s Aokigahara Forest.

For Leader's Who Want to Grow
Deepen Your Commitment to Listening

“Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts...” (Hebrews 3:15)
I was asked to consult for a multi-million dollar communications division of a national church. Its leader had come to the table only weeks before with impressive credentials in the private and NGO fields.
He had accumulated a slew of prestigious awards. He had been brought on board in the midst of crisis. The very survival of the ministry depended on his decisive, sure-handed leadership.

No matter what the question, love is the answer. Always.
Jesus made this very clear [Matthew 22:36-40]:
“Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?”

Terms that define the word bias include prejudice, partiality, favoritism, one-sidedness, leaning and tendency.
We all have biases. They are major factors in our decision-making. Like an invisible force operating under the radar, our biases stealthily move to shape the way we influence and lead others, yet we don’t like to admit they even exist. Unfortunately, wherever bias rules unchecked, there is chaos, dissention, hurt and distrust. When bias is recognized and consciously set aside, however, unity, trust, forgiveness and commitment will flourish.

Harvard and The Holy Word
Time Tested Leadership Principles
Blog | Craig McAndrews | February 06, 2018
In March of 2016, The Harvard Business Review published a paper by Sunni Giles, an organizational scientist and leadership development consultant. In the article, Giles highlighted results from a survey of 195 leaders on the topic of leadership competencies. The article, “The Most Important Leadership Competencies, According to Leaders Around the World”, highlighted what a group of leaders felt were important skills for future leaders to have to be successful. As I read the article, I was curious as to how many of these competencies could be found in the Bible. For thos

Snow days in the South are celebrated like holidays. We don’t get very many, but when we do, it’s the headline for weeks. Grocery stores quickly run out of milk and bread, entire states shut down, and many of the major thoroughfares become parking lots. As a result, we are faced with the “We are all stuck in the house and can’t go anywhere” blues.
Control…or lack of it

I did a lot of soul searching upon a recent re-entry from a mission trip to one of the poorest countries in the world – Uganda. Extreme poverty is defined as living on $1.25 or less a day. Almost one in three people in sub-Saharan Africa go hungry, far higher than any other region in the world, with the exception of South Asia. Yet, in many ways Africans are wealthier than billionaire Steve Jobs. And the peoples’ contentment has nothing do with whether or not their stomach is full. On the contrary, their satisfaction has to do with their focus and attitude toward their Creator.
