Welcome to my leadership blog. Ideas have consequences and the goal of this blog is to discuss ideas of consequence. Some ideas you may agree with and some you may disagree. No worries. The only rules are that you post under your own name and that you think and discuss in a civil manner. People who attack others only prove they have reached the limit of their logic. The Bible states, "Iron sharpens iron" and we will sharpen one another by what we read, write and think. The goal of this blog is to help us identify and follow truth in all areas of our lives. I encourage you to join our leadership discussion and transform yourself and others through the renewing of our minds.

Orrin, Thanks for your response! I had a question about a section in your book that I asked my Dad, Terry Franks, and he said I should ask you if I ever got the chance. In the Tri-lateral Leadership Ledger where you say people can grow their leadership capacity by growing in the areas of Character, Tasks, and Relationships: There are a lot of leadership books out now that I have read that talk about focusing on your strengths and not your weaknesses in regards to a persons skillset not necassarily attitude. For example, I am a terrible singer and if I even began to sing I would brighten up the stage when I got off, but if I were to apply the Tri-later Leadership Ledger to a skillset I am terrible in, would it just propel me to really bad. My question is: By applying the Tri-Later Leadership Ledger principles to my "strength zone", could I expect more effective results than applying it to something I am average in? I ask that question only because if I am doing something in my "strength zone" do you think I would have an innate sense of fulfillment , therefore being more effective in my relationship building skills, carrying out tasks better, and honing in my character? Could you elaborate on that? Thanks, Matt
