2017 Global Leadership Summit Day 2 Recap

Session 2: Juliet Funt, CEO WhiteSpace at Work

• We are too busy to become less busy. Sad and ironic.
• Beware the lollipop of mediocrity, you lick it once and you suck forever!
• You will fill space with unhelpful things if you don’t fill them intentionally with helpful things.

Session 3: Marcus Buckingham, World’s Leading Expert on Talent

• Leaders – What is your job? To build more teams like your best teams!
• People are bad raters of other human beings.
• Research: People can’t rate other people!
• What must I do to get people in their strengths and where they know what is expected of them!
• Every week, ask each member of your team this: What are your priorities and how can I help?
• People don’t want feedback, they want attention. They want to be coached.
•  If you can’t check-in with people every week, you have too many people!
•  The purpose of work is to discover that which you love.
•  God blessed us with such unique gifts and work is a place we can discover and use them to make an impact on the world.

Session #4: Sam Adeymani

• Unleashing the potential of followers to be leaders is the challenge of leadership.
•  God makes champions out of ordinary people! We can make champions out of ordinary people!
•  The transformation that happens in people’s lives that you lead is the test of your leadership.
•  The transformation that happens in people’s lives that you lead is the test of your leadership.
•  One of the greatest gifts you can give someone is a new belief about themselves.
•  Whatever people see and hear consistently over time will enter their hearts and put their lives on auto pilot.
•  Your followers should find their vision and their new identities in your vision.
•  Great leaders recognize the future leaders in their current followers.
• Mentor Challenge: Rather than build your church on guest speakers, why don’t you become someone worth listening to?
•  Is your training system capable of developing the people you see in your vision?
•  To grow into who you need to be, you must die to who you are.
•  Lead the people you train to their own death and resurrection experiences. Push them into new positions or tell them to leave and start their own organizations.
•  Become leadership production factories that produce leaders who change the world. I pray that no one can hang with you for 1 year without being transformed.
•  Be brave and fulfill the destiny God has for you.

• Everyone is ambitious. People like to be good at what they do and if they had a choice, they’d be excellent at what they do.
•  Men do not differ much in intellect, only in zeal and hard work. -Darwin
•  Talent is nothing if you don’t apply yourself.
•  Life gets better when you develop grit!
•  Somebody in your life needs to love you so much that they won’t let you quit on a bad day.

Session #7: Gary Haugen, Founder, and CEO of IJM 

• All the leadership training in the world can be rendered useless because of fear.
• All great leadership flows first from dreams.
• Everyday insecurities lead us to abandon our dreams without putting up a fight.
• You must relentless determine and inventory your worst fears. What am I really anxious about?
•  Switch from playing defense to playing offense!
•  God is building His Kingdom on the earth and Jesus said the gates of hell won’t be able to stop it. Hell is what is desperately playing defense in the world.
• Courage, like fear, is contagious.
• Leaders become driven by unexamined fears instead of their hopeful dreams
• No great dream of love has been built on the fear of what might go wrong but on the hope of what might go right.
