A great personal exercise would be to go through Hybel's list of "10 Things That Keep Me in an Inspired State" and see how many of them you're doing. Then consider implementing the ones you're not doing. A great leadership exercise would be to ask everyone on your team two questions: 1) What inspires you? 2) What are the biggest de-motivating factors you experience as a part of our team? (Two words of caution. First, be prepared to accept responsibility for criticism and not to blame others or become defensive. Second, tell people up front that if one of their de-motivators has to do with the behavior of another team member, that should not be sprung on the person in this conversation but to talk to either you or that individual privately.) On a side note, I'd be willing to bet this will be the subject of Hybel's next book. This was an outstanding talk.

The session was powerful, challenging,and inspiring. He must have an amazing team of people looking for inspirational stories to move the leaders at the summit! Patrick Sr. and Patrick Jr. are both inspiring people. I want to be that kind of parent to my 4 children. Whatever it takes. Whatever the cost. Not as a martyr, but as a loving, supportive parent. I was inspired in the first 5 minutes. The rest of the session was the cement used to adhere the lesson to my heart and soul. The challenge is to inspire those we lead every day! Let's do it!!
