The Extraordinary Power of a Focused Life is designed to help leaders develop a focused life for finishing well. A focused life involves four focal points (purpose, role, methodology, legacy) that leaders need to discover and apply with greater clarity and intentionality over time. The structure of this workbook addresses four critical questions that we must work through in order to finish well in life and leadership: 1. PERSPECTIVE: Where have I come from? 2. DESTINY: Where am I going? 3. STRATEGY: How do I get there? 4. LEGACY: What do I leave behind me that matters? Each chapter uses the IDEA approach to transformational learning and begins with an Introduction (I) followed by Discovery (D), Explanation (E) and Application (A) sections. The goal of The Extraordinary Power of a Focused Life is not to inform you, but to TRANSFORM YOU! Transformation takes place best within the context of the life giving dynamic of Spirit and Truth (John 4:24) that ultimately leads to becoming more loving (I Timothy 1:5). This dynamic seems to take place along a growth continuum that involves spiritual (CHARACTER), ministry/leadership (COMPETENCIES), and strategic (CALLING) formations for finishing well. I strongly suggest that as you work through this workbook you do it with an accountability partner, mentor, or coach. What you are starting here is not a quick and easy fix or formula for instant insight and success. It is a process (NOT A PROGRAM) that may involve a lot of time, effort, and dying to self to get through. Take your time and prayerfully and carefully read, study, discuss, apply, and evaluate your progress. Remember that finishing well is a journey, a process, or lifestyle. Over the years you will become more and more transformed by God as he reveals his purposes to you and prepares you to finish well in life and leadership. NOTICE: This workbook has a doc.file application so that you can work through the focused life process on your computer.
