    DGT Episode 359 - The Hidden Value Of What Is Hidden - 48 Laws Of Power And The Cross Part 4

    When it comes to leading something, we can’t avoid is that we leaders are in the limelight.  Being in the limelight means that what we do and say is often measured in a worldly standard.  How do we reconcile this with the importance in Christianity to be hidden, to look for the hidden things as the most important?  The teaching of Christ shines out brilliantly and contrast with Robert Green’s sixth law of power and this fourth part of our series I take a look at what he proposes in contrast with Christ.

    DGT Episode 358 - Law 15 To Crush Or Not To Crush - 48 Laws Of Power And The Cross Part 3

    All of us who lead are men and women of action and being men and women of action we’re responsible to create changes to make something out of nothing.  To change status quo into something new and doing this in a social setting means that we will often encounter competition.  How are Christians supposed to deal with competition?  In this third of our series of 10 on “The Rules of Power” by Robert Green we focus on law 15 where instead of loving our enemies he calls us to crush them.

    DGT Episode 357 - Law 10 On Loss And Gain - 48 Laws Of Power And The Cross Part 2

    In 1999 Robert Green published a book called the “48 Laws of Power”.  The book was a sensation.  It’s sold over 1 million copies and has been translated into over 25 languages.  At its root the book is practical.  This practical book gives 48 lessons from history on how to grab and keep power.  It’s a helpful example for Christians about both what not to do and what to understand about the way people’s minds work today.

    DGT Episode 356 - A Thirst For Power - 48 Laws Of Power And The Cross Part 1

    Christian leaders need help to lead just like anyone else.  We usually return to the gospels or the lives of the Saints or other Christian leaders for inspiration but sometimes it’s important to read those whose positions are antithetical to Christian leadership.  Sometimes we can learn a lot more from those who operate differently from us to show us just how special our position is.  One of these people is Robert Green and his “48 Laws of Power”.  I begin the series with a commentary on the preface from this book and Greens insistence on our thirst for power.

    DGT Episode 355 - Leaders Give Themselves - Leadership Lessons From Priests Part V

    In 1997 and the year 2000 Pope John II sent a letter to all the priests in the world as was his custom and in both of these letters he emphasizes a very important truth: the priest has to lead out of who he is.  As important as this might be for priests to remember it’s also important for all leaders to remember Jesus doesn’t lead in abstraction.  He asks us to give ourselves.  Learning how to do this well is an essential aspect of Christian leadership.

    DGT Episode 354 - Spirit Filled Leadership - Leadership Lessons From Priests Part 4

    Beginning of the first year of his pontificate, every holy Thursday Pope John Paul II would write a letter to all the priests in the world.  Since this tradition spans his entire pontificate, these letters are a very precious source of wisdom and inspiration for us that show how priests are called to lead in the world.  At the same time we can drive very special leadership lessons for people who are in the world to lead as well today we focus in on spirit filled leadership.

    DGT Episode 353 - The Priestly Vocation Of The Laity - Leadership Lessons From Priests Part 3

    If I were to ask you who it is that's responsible for making the world holy most of you would respond your priest or your minister or someone who works for the church.  While this may be true, what’s the place for a businessperson or working professional or stay at home mom or even grandparents for that matter?  In his letters to priest from 1996, Pope John Paul II makes a compelling case for the special way that people can make the world holy too.

    DGT Episode 352 - Renew Your Identity At It's Source - Leadership Lessons From Priests Part 2

    Because the lifestyle of a leader is marked by action, fatigue and wearing out are a common problem.  This is the same whether you are a secular leader or a religious one.  How can we renew our energy and find the way forward when we feel overwhelmed and worn out with exhaustion.  In this second part of “Leadership Lessons From Priests”  I focus in on Saint Pope John Paul II’s letter to priests from 1982.  Here he lays out for us a pathway to hope.
