Get Serious
Where do you think all these appalling wars and quarrels come from? Do you think they just happen? Think again. They come about because you want your own way, and fight for it deep inside yourselves. You lust for what you don’t have and are willing to kill to get it. You want what isn’t yours and will risk violence to get your hands on it.
You wouldn’t think of just asking God for it, would you? And why not? Because you know you’d be asking for what you have no right to. You’re spoiled children, each wanting your own way.
You’re cheating on God. If all you want is your own way, flirting with the world every chance you get, you end up enemies of God and his way. And do you suppose God doesn’t care? The proverb has it that “he’s a fiercely jealous lover.” And what he gives in love is far better than anything else you’ll find. It’s common knowledge that “God goes against the willful proud; God gives grace to the willing humble.”
So let God work his will in you. Yell a loud no to the Devil and watch him scamper. Say a quiet yes to God and he’ll be there in no time. Quit dabbling in sin. Purify your inner life. Quit playing the field. Hit bottom, and cry your eyes out. The fun and games are over. Get serious, really serious. Get down on your knees before the Master; it’s the only way you’ll get on your feet.
James 4:1-10 (Message Bible)

9 Ways to Lead Your Leader by John Maxwell
360-Degree Leaders are all-around leaders. As one, leading up can be the greatest challenge.
"Most leaders want to lead, not be led. But most leaders also want to have value added to them. If you take the approach of wanting to add value to those above you, you have the best chance of influencing them." 1
Today, we'll discuss 9 principles to lead up. Join us as we walk through the best ways to "support your leader, add value to the organization, and distinguish yourself from the rest of the pack by doing your work with excellence." 2
1. Lead yourself exceptionally well.
"The key to leading yourself well is to learn self-management." 3
In order to be successful, we must make the right decisions early and manage those decisions daily. Then, we are prepared to follow through on them with consistency.
2. Lighten your leader's load.
"When the boss succeeds, the organization succeeds. Conversely, it is almost impossible for you to win if your boss fails." 4
Be a team player and lift the load on your boss' plate. By helping your boss in a great way, you are a part of something bigger and will have the chance to celebrate success in the end.
3. Be willing to do what others won't.
"Few things gain the appreciation of a top leader more quickly than an employee with a whatever-it-takes attitude." 5
As a 360-Degree Leader, you must be willing to tackle whatever comes your way without question. Your boss will recognize your dedication and desire to serve with excellence.
