3 things leaders must STOP doing

29 April 2010 342 views 2 Comments

Recently I talked about three things to STOP doing in order to lead diligently

Today I’ll share the first one: objectifying people

The problem with seeing people as objects is that your NOT seeing them as people – people with needs like yours, hopes like yours & made in the image of God. Here’s some ways we can view people as objects:

When someone challenges your agenda…  You see them as a THREAT

When someone reinforces your agenda… You see them as an ALLY

When one fails to matter to your agenda… You see them as UNIMPORTANT

When you see people as objects, your view of reality gets distorted and you are unable to serve them for any other reason than selfish gain.

If we are going to lead well we have to stop objectifying people.

Read Leadership and Self Deception for more on seeing people as objects.
