Leader's Greatest Failure: Communication

In Genesis chapter 1, God begins His masterpiece. He creates. From "Good" to "Very good." In chapter 2, He planted the Garden of Eden and placed Adam and Eve there. Everything was in order and shalom. But in chapter 3, everything changes - The Fall! One of the reasons for The Fall is communication. Adam failed to connect with Eve. As a leader, you may be a good speaker, but more important than that you must be a good communicator. What we can learn from Adam's faulty communication? #ServeToLead #GrowingLeader #LeadershipBible

Don't Be Distracted by Criticism

As a leader, my Lord Jesus faced a number of criticisms, notable among which was His encounter with His own people in Mark 6:1-6. Having marveled at His wisdom and authority, they began to question His origin and ancestry. They could not believe why a common carpenter should get the kind of attention He was getting. But Jesus ignored their criticism and went about preaching the Word. I believe Jesus was telling you and me, criticism comes with the package of leadership #ServeToLead #GrowingLeader

Apabila Berpuasa, Jangan Bermuka Monyok (Matius 6:16-18)

Orang Farisi* berpuasa 2 kali seminggu (Lukas 18:12) iaitu pada hari Isnin dan Khamis padahal dalam Perjanjian Lama, berpuasa hanya ditentukan pada Hari Pendamaian (Imamat 23) iaitu sekali setahun. Kebanyakan berpuasa dalam Alkitab adalah berdasarkan keperluan, situasi dan keadaan. Tetapi untuk menunjukkan 'kesalihan' kepada orang ramai, mereka menetapkan hari-hari berpuasa. Yesus berkata mereka sengaja menunjukan "muka lesu" dan "memperlihatkan wajah menderita" (Matius 6:16). Kalau mereka ada social media pada masa itu, mereka mungkin akan post gambar muka monyok dan menulis, "Hai guys, saja nak share. Saya sedang berpuasa sekarang"

Okay serius... Apa maksud berpuasa? dan apakah tujuannya? Selamat mendengar episod podcast kali ini tentang berpuasa #ServeToLead #InjilMatius

Three (3) Ways to Lead Like A Human

In the world of technology, social media and data-ism today we can sometime forget that people are not robots! Although this is common sense, we need to remember to: lead like a human. What makes us different from machines (so far, still being debated today) is that we have consciousness and feelings. In short, we are humans. Thus, how to lead like a human? #ServeToLead #GrowingLeader #LeadershipBible

Short-Term Famous OR Long-Term Impact?

A good friend (and few others) asked me, "I love your content, but why not many people follow you?" I explained to him about half a dozen of my theories. One is because I try not to follow trends but focus on values. Another is because although I know some good tricks, I refuse to chase after followers rather than qualities. And another one is because I think in long-term impact rather than short-term famous and some other plausible reasons. Regardless…

How you use your social media is up to you. Your right, your choice. But sometimes its good to examine ourselves by asking these questions: How do I use my social media? What impact do I want to contribute to the world? How can I leave a positive legacy behind? Legacy a.k.a. Legasi (BM)... that's a good word, right? #ServeToLead #GrowingLeader

The Price of Leadership Is Loneliness

One aspect of leadership many people don’t talk about is loneliness. Loneliness in leadership is certainly one of the prices a leader must pay as he or she rises. The higher one rises the more pervasive loneliness becomes for a leader.

Why is that? I think one of it is because leadership involves making the toughest decisions alone — most of the time without mentors or friends —creates a sense of loneliness. Once you become a leader, you find it difficult to share your most intimate issues with everyone. Many around you will not be able to see from your perspective. They do not understand your fears and hurts. It is part of the price of leadership.

You don't have to be alone but sometimes it can be lonely. When you do, remember the Word of the Lord to Joshua, anticipating the loneliness that he will face as a leader: "Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go" (Joshua 1:9) #ServeToLead #GrowingLeader

Tiga (3) Prinsip Berdoa berdasarkan Matius 6:5-8

Kebanyakan orang Farisi dan para guru Taurat pada zaman Yesus berdoa dengan penuh puitis bukan kepada TUHAN tetapi supaya didengarkan oleh orang lain (Matius 6:5). Mereka hipokrit! Mereka terlalu formal sehingga setiap perkara ada doa-doa khas tetapi hati mereka jauh daripada Allah (Matius 15:8).

Orang bangsa asing "yang tidak mengenal Allah" pula berdoa sembarangan dengan mengeluarkan "kata-kata yang tidak bermakna" (6:7), tidak ada erti dan omong kosong. Mereka jahil! Mereka terlampau tidak formal sehingga 'doa' menjadi terlalu panjang, berulang-ulang dan rutin yang tidak memerlukan mereka untuk berfikir.

Bagaimana pula dengan kamu dan saya? Dalam Matius 6:5-8, Yesus Kristus menyetuh tentang isu doa - dan saya mendapati ada Tiga (3) Prinsip Berdoa yang boleh kita guna untuk memeriksa motif dan sikap kita apabila berdoa #ServeToLead #InjilMatius
