Transcript
- 0:03Speaker 1: There's a relationship between me knowing me and me growing me.
- 0:13Speaker 1: I've got to know me to grow me. And by
- 0:18Speaker 1: the way, if you're leading other people, you've got to
- 0:20Speaker 1: know them to grow them. You see, managers lead everybody
- 0:23Speaker 1: the same. Leaders lead everybody differently. And what leaders understand
- 0:27Speaker 1: is the only way that you can lead people differently
- 0:28Speaker 1: is by knowing them intimately. Well, the only way that
- 0:31Speaker 1: you can grow yourself and know yours is to know yourself.
- 0:34Speaker 1: So all leadership begins and all personal growth begins with
- 0:37Speaker 1: the law of awareness. I have to know me to
- 0:41Speaker 1: grow me. Now, how do we do this? Three R's,
- 0:47Speaker 1: three words. They all start with the letter R. These
- 0:51Speaker 1: words will be your compass to help you become aware
- 0:55Speaker 1: of yourself and help you to be able to grow yourself.
- 1:00Speaker 1: The first R is requirement. Basically, the requirement question just asks,
- 1:05Speaker 1: what's required of me? What do I have to do?
- 1:09Speaker 1: You see, every one of us, we have certain requirements
- 1:11Speaker 1: in our life. We have certain requirements in our job.
- 1:14Speaker 1: It's just part of the job. It's what we have
- 1:17Speaker 1: to do. It's why we get paid. It's how we
- 1:19Speaker 1: get paid. It's what's expected of us. So I've got
- 1:23Speaker 1: to ask myself, well, what do I have to do?
- 1:25Speaker 1: Because whatever I have to do, I've got to do it.
- 1:28Speaker 1: So the requirement question needs to fit in here. I've
- 1:31Speaker 1: got to be aware of what is expected of me,
- 1:34Speaker 1: what is required of me in life. Now, I want
- 1:38Speaker 1: to stop here just for a second and say, as
- 1:40Speaker 1: you become successful... You'll be able to take some things
- 1:44Speaker 1: that are required of you and be able to transfer
- 1:46Speaker 1: them to others, teach, equip, delegate, empower. That's all part
- 1:51Speaker 1: of leadership. But in the beginning especially, there's a lot
- 1:54Speaker 1: of things that are just required of you and me
- 1:56Speaker 1: that we have to do. And whatever those are, we
- 1:58Speaker 1: want to grow in them because we want to get
- 2:00Speaker 1: better in them because those are expectations that other people
- 2:02Speaker 1: have of us that need to be fulfilled. Pastors and
