More About Patrick
We are all leaders in some area of our lives. It could be at work, in our church, in our social groups, or in our homes. No matter the location, there are common principles required to be effective in all of them.
When we hire someone new to our organization, we train them to be a good technician. If they are among our best technicians, we promote them to leadership. Here’s where the breakdown begins… we trained them to be a technician; we tend to forget to train them to be leaders. This leads to people-problems, profit-loss, and a reduction in productivity.
We all understand the “carrot and sticks” approach to leadership and tend to use more sticks than carrots because everyone understands the uses of sticks—no training is needed. However, everyone’s carrot is different. If we would lead people and not just drive them, we have to get to know them—to understand what a carrot looks like to each of them. We have to treat them as we want to be treated. We have to know who is served in every decision we make.
A leader helps people and organizations reach their full potential… to reach their goals. Let me help you raise up the Servant-Leaders your organization needs to thrive.
SERVANT LEADERSHIP… A PRACTICE OF VIRTUE. The Servant Leader CARES about the mission and their people. A practice of virtue is a focus on selfishness—love in action. Tailored to a Christian or Secular audience.
Ultimately, we are emotional beings. We have different intellectual and physical abilities but we all react to our world emotionally. Our basic emotions are joy, anger, sadness, and fear. Through these emotions, we interact with the world and people around us… and we understand each other through them. Love, then, becomes a practice of generosity and service. When we recognize that fear and love frame our every decision, we grow in our personal and professional lives. We seek new heights rather than agonizing about imagined depths. With an outward focus, we can understand the fear and love of those around us… and become worthier leaders.
In every decision, the love or fear we choose becomes the “why” that either inspires greatness or stunts our growth.
The Church teaches us four types of love: friendship (philia), family love (storge/empathy), passionate love (eros), and unconditional love (agape). We can reflect on these through the Mysteries of the Rosary.
Failure isn’t fatal: Problems can be the beginning of new opportunities
Seize opportunities: Demonstrate resilience and integrity
The greater the challenge, the greater the glory
Success isn’t automatic: Keep moving forward
You’re not the center of the universe: You have neither the world on your shoulders nor at your feet
Recognize God’s perspective: We are all sinners in need of salvation
Who are you worshiping? (God, neighbor, wealth, community)
Am I at Church to worship God or be seen by others?
Did I choose a Church to serve God or because I want something from the community?
Trust God’s plan and be patient with Him
