Leaving a positive legacy isn't an easy thing to do. You want to make sure that you do some things that are life changing. Not just life changing for you but life changing for those around you. The biggest impact you can make is to touch the lives of those you come in contact with. One of the most important things you can do toward leaving a positive legacy is to pray for your employees and pray for your company. James 5:16 says: "Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much." We all have passion and we need to turn that passion to our prayer life and pray for our employees. They don't even need to know that you are praying for them. Pray for their jobs and their personal life. If you are effective and fervent in your prayer then you will see changes. You will see the fruit of your prayers in better employees and more grateful employees. There is a caveat ...

After a weekend of relaxation it is time to get back to talking about leadership. I would like to continue looking at leaving a legacy as a leader. As part of this look at leaving a legacy I am going to create a special page just for leaving and creating a leadership legacy. This week I would like to discuss the spiritual aspect of leaving a legacy. The three things we looked at last week were Vision, Direction and creating future leaders. Those three things are vitally important in creating a legacy for your leadership. However without the spiritual element all of that can become lost. There are three P's that I would like to use to look at the spiritual side of leaving a leadership legacy. They are Prayer, Praise and Progress. Each day we will focus on one of these important pieces of the spiritual leadership legacy puzzle. What I would like to do is highlight some bible verses that will support the case. If you combine the spiritual portions with the ones we looked at last...

Being a leader can be a difficult position to be in. A leader is someone who others look toward for vision, direction and of course leadership. How do you do as a leader who conveys a vision that others can get behind and follow? How are you at giving direction? Do you micromanage or do you allow your followers some independence?
