Finishing WellActs 20:24, “But none of these things move me; nor do I count my life dear to myself, so
testify to the gospel of the grace of God.”
Paul is saying that he does not count his life of any value or dear to himself. Paul knew he
race speaks of his
joy speaks of his .
Psalms 51:12, “Restore to me the joy of Your salvation, and uphold me by Your generous Spirit.”
Joy – a happiness based on unchanging divine
and eternal spiritual .
1 Peter 1:8, “Whom having not seen you love. Though now you do not see Him, yet believing, you rejoice with joy inexpressible and full of glory.”
Joy is not the result of circumstances.
John 16:20-22, “Most assuredly, I say to you that you will weep and lament, but the world will rejoice; and you will be sorrowful, but your sorrow will be turned into joy. A woman, when she is in labor, has sorrow because her hour has come; but as soon as she has given birth to the child, she no longer remembers the anguish, for joy that a human being has been born into the world. Therefore you now have sorrow; but I will see you again and your heart will rejoice, and your joy no one will take from you.”
Joy is the from God, and as such, believers are not to
it but to delight in the blessing they already possess.

“There is a theory of human behavior that says people subconsciously retard their own intellectual growth. They come to rely on clichés and habits. Once they reach the age of their own personal comfort with the world, they stop learning and their mind runs on idle for the rest of their days. They may progress organizationally, they may be ambitious and eager, and they may even work night and day. But they learn no more.”

Five Steps for Moving From Maintenance to Multiplication
1.
About 20 percent of all leaders live on the lowest level in the development process. They are not doing anything to develop people in their organization, and as a result, their attrition rate is off the charts. They can’t seem to keep anyone they recruit. That’s why we say they’re in the scramble stage – they spend most of their time scrambling
owners who seem to stay in scramble mode. The morale in their organization stays low, and it doesn’t take long for them to burn out from exhaustion.
2.
The next stage in the development ladder is survival mode. In it, leaders do nothing to develop their people, but they do manage to keep the people they have. About 50 percent of all organizational leaders function this way. Their organizations
survives from day to day without much promise or hope for the future.
3. _______________________________
About 10 percent of all leaders work at developing their people into better leaders, but they neglect to build their relationships with their people. As a result, their potential leaders leave the organization to pursue other opportunities. In other words, they are siphoned off from the organization. That often leads to frustration on the part of the
time to looking for replacements.

4.
When leaders build strong relationships, develop people to become good leaders, empower them to reach their potential - and are able to keep them in the organization – something wonderful happens. It’s often called synergy, meaning that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts because the parts interact well together and create energy, progress, and momentum. An organization on the synergy level
of all leaders reach this level, but those who do are often considered the very best there are.
5.
Many people who reach the synergy level never try to go any farther because they don’t realize they can take one more step in the development process, and that’s
stay in the organization, work to reach their potential, and in turn develop leaders.
it to this level, but the ones who do are able to tap into almost limitless growth and
level can make an impact on the world.
Seven Questions for a Successful Team Orientation.
1. Do I add value to others?
2. Do I add value to the organization?
3. Am I quick to give away the credit when things go right?
4. Is our team consistently adding new members?
5. Do I use my “bench” players as much as I could?
6. Do many people on the team consistently make important decisions?
7. Is our team’s emphasis on creating victories more than producing stars?
