The Difference Between Leadership and Mastery: Why True Leaders Must Go Beyond Expertise by Olajumoke Adenowo

Christ's instruction contrasting the Scribes and Pharisees speaks loudly to present-day church leaders and how they see themselves and may want to be perceived by others.

The Miracle Manager: Why True Leaders Rarely Make Great Managers by Kevin G. Armstrong https://www.amazon.com/Miracle-Manager-Leaders-Rarely-Managers/dp/1946633003/Kevingarmstrong.com KEVIN G. ARMSTRONG - THE MIRACLE MANAGER "My MBA degree did not teach me what Kevin Armstrong has to say in this book." ―BRUCE DER, P. ENG., MBA, president and CEO, A.H. Lundberg Systems Manage A Team That Will Follow You Anywhere! In The Miracle Manager, Kevin G. Armstrong argues that placing true leaders in management positions has become an epidemic that is destroying businesses. Armstrong―a successful speaker, business owner, advisor, disruptor, and best-selling author―knows first-hand the consequences of mistaking great leadership for effective management. With knowledge gained from 20-plus years of exclusively advising CEOs, business owners and their management teams, the author presents a revolutionary approach to organizational management. Utilizing professional researchers and actual case studies of great leaders and coaches of the past, Armstrong illustrates why being a stellar player rarely equates to being a great coach - why businesses have to start rewarding and recognizing their leaders, and valuing the special talents of their managers. "Throughout history, many influential people have earned the title of leader," says Armstrong. "Leaders look to the future, oblivious to who or how many are following. Being an effective manager requires you to efficiently and effectively work through others ― to be what I call a 'manacoach.'" Armstrong shares his proven strategies for implementing management techniques based upon revolutionary concepts to create scalable and sustainable cultures of accountability. For business owners and their management teams, The Miracle Manager is your guide to aligning people with your company culture and creating a healthy environment through accountability where politics cannot survive. About the author Kevin G. Armstrong is an author, speaker, business advisor, disruptor and authority in implementing simple, proven management solutions – but simple doesn't mean easy. In his diverse and accomplished career, he has taught at the high school and college levels, owned and sold small businesses, been an investment firm top seller, and worked in management as a VP at the corporate level, overseeing agencies throughout North America. Kevin has decades of experience helping business owners—from “mom and pops” to Fortune 500s—get more out of their business. Kevin currently leads a group of advisors at the Interdependent Training Group (ITG) which advises business leaders on creating clear vision and implementing strategies to hold their management teams accountable for delivering on their vision. For the past 20+ years of his career, Kevin has studied the important differences between the roles of ‘leader' and ‘manager' in business. His speaking engagements expand on this concept in an interactive, thought-provoking manner which disrupts current thinking and leaves audiences with a new understanding of how leaders can be leveraged through exceptional management to achieve business and personal success.

Hey Friend! Ever catch yourself thinking you need to have it all figured out before stepping into bigger leadership? I recorded this episode twice (tech crashed the first time—apparently even I don't have all the answers about equipment!) because this message hit me so hard on a Sunday drive. If you're waiting for complete clarity before you lead, you're actually disqualifying yourself from being the leader your team needs most. Want to Go Deeper? Ready to lead with clarity instead of confusion? Book a Leadership Strategy Call—your blueprint to navigate uncertainty with confidence and finally step into the leadership identity you're called to embody.

Larry Tentarelli offers his macro perspective to analyze potential investment opportunities. He says he's "not a fan" of the Mag 7 right now, instead pointing to high growth leaders like Palantir (PLTR) and Netflix (NFLX) as "true leaders." One Mag 7 stock Larry sees upside potential in is Tesla (TSLA), if it can hit $300.

Let's build and move together in God's Holy Shift! As we continue our study of Nehemiah, Nancy McCready shares from Nehemiah 2:5, 'If it pleases the King...' True building starts with entering in and maturing as sons, with a heart to please the King. But be warned: When you get serious about your divine assignment, opposition will come. The enemy will mock and ridicule you; yet, we stand firm! Not in our own strength, but in the freedom He gives us. When we're delivered from past rejections and sufferings, we can enter into the way of Christ Himself. He is getting His people ready! Let's be True Leaders, His Leaders in this hour of history!

[00:30] The Power of a True Leader (55 minutes) Donald Trump hasn't officially taken charge as president yet, but the United States already looks different from just a week ago. The ripple effect of Trump's return is affecting the geopolitical scene almost as much as the domestic political landscape. Trump and his appointees are prepared to execute justice against radical-leftist actors who have been sidestepping the law for years and who no longer have the protection of the suddenly powerless Barack Obama. At the same time, some Democrats are finally recognizing the corruption within Kamala Harris's inept presidential campaign, which is in debt after blowing through a billion dollars, and FEMA has been exposed for withholding hurricane relief from Trump supporters.

[SEGMENT 2-1] Trump at Al Smith Dinner 1   Forget all the funny quips that Trump writers prepared for him for the Al Smith Dinner. While these were spot on, and had the impact of the comedic delivery, it's the other things that Trump did that made this event even more pivotal. Before I explain how Trump secured his already secure election, let's give kudos to Trump's writers. They delivered knock-out blows with their jokes, cleverly blending their humor with relevant facts. These writers covered many serious issues in a way that comedy is supposed to deliver. [X] SB – Trump at Al Smith Dinner opening Deferential to the event Thanked all the people, including those who hate him.  [SEGMENT 2-2] Trump at Al Smith Dinner 2 They touched on Harris' absence, Trump's assassination attempt, transgender issues, and many other Leftwing nutjob comments in a way that allowed even Democrats to have a few laughs. Take for example this shot Trump took at the "women" of The View. Trump trolls The View: "They need to bring Rosie O'Donnell back."pic.twitter.com/DO8f7hVTF0 — Defiant L's (@DefiantLs) October 18, 2024 The masterful use of Rosie O'Donnell offers a clinic in comedy "call backs". And for the writers to allow a Trump callback to the line that arguably launched his political career borders on genius. Remember this: "Only Rosie O'Donnell." Three little words that proved to the world that Trump was no ordinary politician. In that supposed "gotcha" moment by Megyn Kelly, Trump proved that he was not the typical politicians. Not long after this, Democrats plotted to make Trump the Republican nominee, not realizing that they just unleashed the krakken. But that wasn't Trump's only callback. Get a load of this one (pun intended): Trump's self deprecating jokes, an Al Smith dinner tradition:"Tradition holds that I'm supposed to tell a few self-deprecating jokes this evening, so here it goes:Nope, I've got nothing.There's nothing to say. I guess I just don't see the point in taking shots at myself when… pic.twitter.com/4FLXHAxNaT — Eric Abbenante (@EricAbbenante) October 18, 2024 Again, the gentle reminder by Trump that somebody tried to assassinate him. And yet, there he stood in a room full of political vermin. The majority of the people sitting in that room who wanted him dead or in prison. Moreover, many of them participated in conspiracies to get rid of Trump, one way or another. There stood Trump, the front-runner to be President again. His presence alone mocked them. The felon, sexual predator, unfit to serve as they painted him, laughed in their faces with the help of his writers. A Bit on Kamala Harris   And what of this quip that took a shot at Kamala Harris? Trump alluded that Harris--a no show--might have shown up if they worded their invitation differently: NEW: Trump jokes that Kamala Harris would have shown up to the Al Smith dinner if the money was going out to bail out criminals. Brutal. pic.twitter.com/aDRVDq7WbP — Collin Rugg (@CollinRugg) October 18, 2024 Touché to the writers for bitch-slapping Harris in front of what would be mostly her crowd. One should note however, that there were approving whistles for Trump during much of his presentation. Indulge my repetition, but President Trump attended the Al Smith dinner and Kamala Harris did not. Harris bucked a tradition that hadn't been bucked since 1984. Interesting year, given George Orwell's novel, but I digress. Getting back to Harris being a no-show, I wonder if perhaps Harris doesn't feel like a candidate? After all, she was shoe-horned in, in the coup of her former boss. Even Trump-hating Jim Gaffigan managed to see the irony of Harris' absence: Kamala gets roasted for being the first presidential nominee since 1984 to skip the Al Smith charity dinner: "She did find time to appear on The View, Howard Stern, Colbert — and the longtime staple of campaigning, the Call Her Daddy podcast..." pic.twitter.com/gVBxTcv6ou — Trump War Room (@TrumpWarRoom) October 18, 2024 "This is a room full of Catholics and Jews...in New York City. This is a layup for the Democratic nominee." As Gaffigan stated, this event was a slam dunk for a Democrat candidate much like the National Association of Black Journalist event that Harris conveniently avoided when Trump graciously accepted the invitation. And they wonder why Harris is losing the Black vote? Speaking of the NABJ, Harris ultimately did an interview with the NABJ. Have you seen a single clip from that interview that has been universally panned? To add on to Trump's quip about her absence, I say that one thing is certain: Harris wasn't helping hurricane victims in Florida. Find out the main reason why Trump will be the next POTUS, again by reading Part Two of this article here.[SEGMENT 2-3] Trump at Al Smith Dinner 3   [X] SB – Trump at the Al Smith Dinner on Tim Walz     Trump did more than show up In Part Two of this article, let's look at the crux of Trump's appeal as demonstrated by his appearance at the Al Smith Dinner. I learned saying from a mentor years ago. He said to me the secret to success is the "UPs Program": Get up, show up, and follow up! Apparently, Trump understands that. And to quote singer Bruno Mars from Uptown Funk, "If we show up, we gon' show out, smoother than a fresh dry skippy". Trump got up, showed up, and don't worry, he will follow up. Trump performed magnificently. Despite his stilted delivery of the jokes, Trump made his points because the jokes were so cleverly written that delivery was secondary to the not-so-subliminal messages laced within them. Further, let's face it: with the Left, the jokes practically write themselves. What Americans witnessed yet again is that has no fear going into the belly of the beast. As with the NABJ, Trump joined these New York elites on their turf knowing that they hate him more than they hate Vladimir Putin. Still, Trump "showed up and he showed out". Trump reminded these smug Leftist New Yorkers of their past with him. Trump displayed the billionaire bad boy side of himself that he was noted for, prior to getting into the blood sport of actual politics. Trump reminded the crowd that long before many of their careers were built, he was a New York institution. And still is.  [SEGMENT 2-4] Trump at Al Smith Dinner 4   Trump showed humility where he needed none. Because he was bigger than they in the past, and he even bigger and badder than ever. As Trump delivered in one of his joke, I don't need to take shots at myself.On that note, one must question the motives of the Secret Service as behind Trump on the dais sat Letitia James. Who allowed that seating arrangement, as I would never turn my back to that Black bitch? If you want real irony, consider that only about a decade ago James would have begged Trump for his endorsement. While Trump read his comedic lines, he wasn't vindictive. In fact, in one instance he actually alluded that a joke may have gone too far. Imagine a man who shows the humility to cringe against a joke about the snakes who sat in that room who targeted him, plotted his demise, and continue to strategize against him. Yet, Trump took the event and its attendees in stride. Trump performed as if he were unscathed by any of their tactics. Why was Trump so comfortable? Trump got the chance to mock the establishment in a venue of their choosing. Remember, not that long ago Trump's appearances in New York centered around his court cases. Oh the joy Trump must have felt being the felon holding court over judges, Senators, and Congressmen. But put playing the role of court jester aside for a moment and understand what Trump knows. These people have spent billions of dollars in their attempts to ruin him, yet he's going to be their leader once again. Why was Senator Chuck Schumer so accommodating to Trump? Because he knows the inevitability of November 5.   Chuck Schumer and President Trump were spotted having a conversation at the Al Smith dinner in New York. The body language tells ALL. Trump is the REAL POTUS! A TRUE LEADER!pic.twitter.com/xXjhpAdDSp — AJ Huber (@Huberton)Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-kevin-jackson-show--2896352/support.

"Are we God-centered or man-centered?

In this real-time episode of Tent Talk, Nancy reflects on the journey of the last seven weeks in the True Leaders, His Leaders series. She opens up about the tensions leaders face when navigating the balance between following God's lead and responding to the needs of others. Nancy emphasizes the importance of staying God-centered, reminding us that leadership isn't about catering to people's expectations but about walking in alignment with God's purposes—no matter how uncertain or uncomfortable the process may feel. Through personal reflections, Nancy challenges listeners to manage life's tensions rather than trying to solve them, encouraging us to trust God's unfolding plan. She reminds us that true leadership is anchored in Him, urging us to resist the temptation to become man-centered and instead lead others into deeper dependence on God. Are you ready to embrace the tension and stay with Him? Here we go! Thanks for Listening!
