A Waste of Time?

Time Management, Leadership, Church Growth, Life Skills, Financial Management, Motivational Seminars, and on the list goes. We have been attending such gatherings (some of us for decades) and yet little changes! Still the experts keep coming, keep taking our money, raising our hopes, providing the same old information, albeit wrapped in new, clever terminology! Providing our 'professionals' with a glimpse into a, heretofore, allusive world. 

And then there are the endless books on these subjects and more, all with a carefully designed nomenclature intended to capture your imagination (and wealth) and set you on the path toward a personal and professional Nirvana! 

I have a message for church leaders, management leaders and others seeking to motivate your hirelings.....stop hiring these modern day 'Pied Pipers' and start doing YOUR job! You are the leader people are looking toward for advice, counsel, an example, and you are the one whose experience, theoretically, should be sufficient to move others to great heights! If you are not up to the task, then step aside and make room for a real leader! GDL
