I just started my second 9 week class in my <a href=\"http:\/\/www.evangelical.edu\/macl\/\">Masters of Arts in Christian Leadership<\/a>. (It&#8217;s sort of like a power-packed Christian MBA)<\/p>\n<p>This weekend we met for class (the rest of the learning happens online).<\/p>\n<p>The time was packed with insights and new material, all of which will be so helpful not just with getting to know my fellow-learners, but in every environment I am leading in and will lead in.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The course centers on leadership theories and involves a lot of searching and self-awareness, learning of one&#8217;s strengths, temperaments, and personal leadership styles. Sometimes this is encouraging, but other times the process reveals blind spots, wounds, and flaws.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve realized that a wounded but healed leader is the easiest for me to trust.<\/p>\n<p>The insights we gain from knowing ourself and others better works like getting bionic limbs just before we climb a mountain. Things that were confusing, personalities that seemed perplexing, and the power for gifts and talents laser into focus.<\/p>\n<p>Here are a few of the books I&#8217;m learning from that I&#8217;ve really been enjoying. (Two Big thumbs up!)<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"width: 120px; height: 240px;\" src=\"http:\/\/rcm.amazon.com\/e\/cm?lt1=_blank&amp;bc1=000000&amp;IS2=1&amp;bg1=FFFFFF&amp;fc1=000000&amp;lc1=0000FF&amp;t=thbloflicode-20&amp;o=1&amp;p=8&amp;l=as4&amp;m=amazon&amp;f=ifr&amp;ref=ss_til&amp;asins=0470651725\" height=\"240\" width=\"320\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"width: 120px; height: 240px;\" src=\"http:\/\/rcm.amazon.com\/e\/cm?lt1=_blank&amp;bc1=000000&amp;IS2=1&amp;bg1=FFFFFF&amp;fc1=000000&amp;lc1=0000FF&amp;t=thbloflicode-20&amp;o=1&amp;p=8&amp;l=as4&amp;m=amazon&amp;f=ifr&amp;ref=ss_til&amp;asins=0801026903\" height=\"240\" width=\"320\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"width: 120px; height: 240px;\" src=\"http:\/\/rcm.amazon.com\/e\/cm?lt1=_blank&amp;bc1=000000&amp;IS2=1&amp;bg1=FFFFFF&amp;fc1=000000&amp;lc1=0000FF&amp;t=thbloflicode-20&amp;o=1&amp;p=8&amp;l=as4&amp;m=amazon&amp;f=ifr&amp;ref=ss_til&amp;asins=159562015X\" height=\"240\" width=\"320\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Another test I took for the course has to do with using a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.haygroup.com\/ww\/training\/details.aspx?id=2798&amp;eventid=46&amp;locationid=85\">social and emotional competency inventory tool<\/a>\u00a0(ESCI). <em>Social and emotional intelligence is too rare a commodity in bosses, in case you haven&#8217;t heard. :)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Plus, I did the Myers-Briggs Test.
