More Is Caught Than Taught – Dr. Stephen R. Graves

Leadership. Leaders. Leaders and Leadership. We are all leaders in our own ways though many don’t ascribe to the title and some think that it’s humility to be titled a follower. We need both leaders and followers. As a matter of fact, every leader must be a follower or learn to follow at times; it’s a form of life balance.
The truth is that we are all one form of a leader in many ways.
I love leaders and leadership. I know that I haven’t blogged on it yet. Well, I’m sharing the first article/blog. I signed up for a webinar featuring Stephen R. Graves. It’s my first time hearing of him (I realize that there are a whole lot more great folks out there that I’m still yet to meet!) and decided to check him out before the day. This article/blog straight away caught my attention as it’s one of my favorite phrases.
The probability of leaders having like followers is higher than having dissimilar followers. Needless to say, leaders have to lead well.
Some things are taught, but many are caught. This phrase is particularly true with families. Without being specifically told, we find ourselves doing the same things we watch our parents do. We inherit their habits, styles, mannerisms, likes and dislikes, etc. My father loved to travel. When he does, we jest on how he packs like a woman because he overpacks. I realize now that I do the same; granted that I am the lady. And my daughters jest me on overpacking 😜. I justify my packing lol by responding that I do not want to buy things out there that I have at home and could have brought with me.
Guess what?! I now notice my daughters doing exactly the same! They caught my habit!
In the Bible, Elisha caught Elijah’s anointing and received a double-portion.
In essence, we ought to be mindful of all that we do because we never know who is watching!
What do you think? Leave your comments below. I hope you also learned something from Dr. Graves’ article.
Peace.
