Management Waste with Larry O'Donnell-CMAW-131

What You'll Hear: Larry was raised Catholic, but at age 13 was invited to a Protestant youth retreat where someone showed him the Gospel going through the Bible and Larry was saved Larry and his wife had their first child Linley, who as an infant had an incident while in doctoral care that resulted in her having challenges throughout her life.  Larry became very angry at God but then read John 9 where Jesus says that the blind man was blind so the God's glory could be shown.  Larry realized God had a different plan than he did.  Larry realized he was not in control and that he had been too self reliant and self-centered. Larry's first job was working for his Dad's construction company Larry went to school for Engineering and then went to Law School and worked for Baker Hughes where he was mentored by Jim Woods Jim would ask questions in a way that would lead you to your own right answer Break around 27:38 In Matt 25:20-28, Jesus described servant leadership as opposed to the typical top-down leadership model Larry has identified 5 key characteristics of servant leadership, using the acronym CLEAN If you're not living life the way God intended you to do, you're wasting your life and your time These principles apply to every relationship C = Commitment L= Listening (key to Larry being the first boss on the Undercover Boss Reality TV Show) E = Empathy - it's the magic that changes everything, this is the opposite of the self-centered social media we live in today A = Accountability N = Notice (noticing others and noticing ourselves) Larry always viewed business as the largest untapped ministry opportunity anywhere Go to www.LarryOdonnell.com
