One of my executive coaching clients was talking with me about how complacent and apathetic his employees had become and how lackluster the company’s performance has been this year, compared to the potential that really exists within the staff. This led us into a discussion about whether a leader should be held accountable to, and for that matter, should the leader be expected to motivate others. And our discussion led us to agree that it is not the leader’s job to motivate the staff. What? Did that surprise you when you read that? I can imagine that a majority of readers of this article will be surprised.

Do you ever marvel at some people’s uncanny ability to make the simple, complex?
The straight forward, anything but?

A ten minute task, a two week saga?

I meet these people every day.
Please stop sending them my way.
They are the woe-is-me brigade.
The Brothers (and Sisters) Grim.
(The real Brothers Grimm were two German dudes who published a bunch of folk stories and fairy tales about two hundred years ago… that’s for those of you who aren’t as old as me!!).

Yep, some people spend their whole lives making stuff complicated.
More complicated than it needs to be anyway.

Have you ever been driving in the middle lane on a three-lane highway? You are pinned in with a car in front, a car to the right and another on your left in your blind spot. You’re muttering under your breath, “Why doesn’t that stupid car move up or drop back so I can pass?” Nevertheless, no, he muddles along. Moreover, so must you. The time ticks away faster each time you look at your watch. You pace with your foot on the brake feeling trapped. Feeling stuck!

Does this sound familiar? Do you feel stuck in your job too?

My aim and goal in writing from Acts Chapter 9 in the New Testament is to seek to show, amongst other things, how vitally important friends are. Some friends are named and others remain unnamed, but each played his part.

This man who had been so very violent against disciples of Jesus Christ finally joins The Christian Fellowship. This is an important principle. From the very beginning Saul is committed to The Church of Jesus Christ. He was a physical visible member. Wherever he goes over the next 30 years, Paul (as he was later called) is committed to The Church, which is The Body of Christ. No matter what city or community he goes to, we see this vital principle. Now this is not widely taught.

All human beings instinctively make decisions from the time they start to think coherently. But did you know that research shows majority of us do not make good decisions? Thus, it is important to be knowledgeable about what is decision making, as well as which techniques in decision making actually work.

What is decision making all about? First of all, a good definition of decision making is that it is the science of determining then selecting options at hand using the values and preferences of the individual in question.

What kinds of decisions are there? Let us look at them closely.

What is it that determines the quality of your life? How is it that some can have all the luxuries that society has to offer yet still be unhappy? Simultaneously, how can someone with seemingly nothing be completely content with life? According to the conditioning that we have received, this does not make sense. We are taught that have all the ‘toys’ is what determines our happiness. Weren’t we told that by going to school, getting good grades, and getting a good job with benefits would make us happy. Of course, many found out this fallacy in this concept.
