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… VIRTUE IN PRACTICE The Servant Leader CARES about the mission and their people. A practice of virtue is a focus on selflessness—love.
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
Ultimately, we are emotional beings. We have different intellectual and physical abilities, but we all react to our world emotionally… even those most incapacitated. Our basic emotions are joy, anger, sadness, and fear. God uses these emotions to interact with us, and we can understand each other through them. Through prayer, we orient our emotions on the God Who made us.
The world fears overpopulation. God says “be fruitful and multiply.”
Christ has overcome the world and Christians are His Hands and Feet
The Church must oppose evil in all manifestations
Opposing evil in public policy means taking a position on candidates and parties advocating for evil
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.
