Leadership is Not Character-Specific – Pt 1
1. Leadership is Not Character-Specific Throughout the breadth of literature written about leadership, the word 'leadership' has several different meanings. For some, the definition of a leadership is embodied in a person you know that was a great leader. And...
Leadership is Not Person-Specific (Authority) – Pt. 2
2. Leadership is Not Person-Specific (Leadership is Not Authority) Just as a leader is not character specific, leadership is not person-specific either. The existence of an organization and the leadership therein, does not dictate who the leader is. Anyone in an...
Leadership is Not Directions-Specific – Pt. 3
3. Leadership is Not Directions-Specific Pt. 3 Remember, leadership is the process of influencing the movement of a group toward a particular outcome. In my pickup basketball example, it doesn't matter whether Mr. Hot-Hand was a good leader or a bad one, he was...
Leadership is Not Outcome-Specific or Purpose-Specific – Pt. 4 & 5
4. Leadership is Not Outcome-Specific We can agree that my pick-up basketball team definitely had leadership…Mr. Hot Hand. And my team won the game. But what if we lost? Was there still leadership present? Of course! For leadership is not outcome-specific. Losing...
While I Was Reading This Morning…
Reading this morning about trust…came across a phrase that blew my mind! It reminded me of some of my past experiences in church. It also reminded me about the expectations couples in their relationships. Had to share. The value that others accord members for their...
Parable: My Wife Can’t Cook!
Your wife cooks her famous pot-roast for dinner. She’s got some potatoes, your favorite vegetable, corn bread, and your favorite beverage. You know you’re about to throw-down. You sit down. Take a nice huge fork-full of potatoes and roast. Shove it in your mouth and...

I need some desperate help in order to save my relationship with my girlfriend. We have been together for a little over 3yrs and our relationship seems to built around our ability to take care of each other on business. We both have come out of bad marriages and when we met we both fell hard for each other. I have one 20 yr old son and an older stepdaughter, while Kalima has a 17yr handicap daughter a 14yr old daughter who lives with her father and a 5yr and 11yr old. I thought I was ready to jump back into family life after my wife passed in 2014, but I have let my so called life experience cause me to become complacent. On top of that I have been drinking more than usual, and it has caused a great strain on our relationship as well as my children. She thinks that I don’t love her enough to care, but I felt that my 24yrs of marriage should speak for itself….WRONG. I need to learn how to be a better partner and live a long life with her, somehow I just can’t seem to figure it out. We have had two sessions of relationship counseling but I allowed my drinking to be an excuse not to go back. And even if she may not want to participate right now I feel if she sees me trying it will help to resolve some of our differences. Also after 18yrs with one company I was let go in 2015. I work as an independent contractor for a courier service so I spend alot of time driving.
