A true leader is more invested in the outcome than affirmation for a job well done.

When we're kids our job is to learn the rules and live by them, so that our parents are pleased. Children find out what is expected, fulfill that, and there may be a "cookie" at the end of the day.

But, leadership is a very different story. In leadership, it is possible to do everything "right" and lose sight of our primary mission.

According to Dr. Henry Cloud, "Leaders do not worry about whether or not they appear to be 'good boys, or girls,' doing only what is expected. They worry about bigger things, like whether or not the mission gets accomplished and the stewardship to which they are called."

Join us for the Ultimate Leadership series as leaders in both ministry and business learn how to stop worrying about doing just what's expected, or what will get them short-term rewards, and start Taking Ownership of the Outcome.

In partnership with Dr. John Townsend and Dr. Henry Cloud, CCN’s monthly Ultimate Leadership series helps leaders develop the character and skills necessary to meet the challenges of leadership.

This month, Dr. Henry Cloud, bestselling author and clinical psychologist, will help leaders make the important shift from being "good" to being "fruitful".

Leaders will learn the importance of:

• Putting the mission ahead approval or people-pleasing
• Valuing the outcome more than the rewards of doing a good job
• Becoming a faithful steward of their calling

Join us this month for Ultimate Leadership and become a leader who takes ownership of the outcome!
