    "LEADING THROUGH THE LENS OF WISDOM"

    *CONNECTING - COACHING - CULTIVATING*

    Joshua Jackson, an alumni of Belhaven University and native of Moss Point, is currently serving as an interim assistant athletics director for strategic communication with Alcorn University. Mr. Jackson has extensive experience as a communications professional with a distinctive skill set in broadcast journalism, brand messaging, content creation, and marketing.

    Learning Objective: To understand the impact of servant leadership and effective teambuilding by CONNECTING, COACHING, and CULTIVATING.

    CONNECT: People don’t care how much you know until they first know how much you care. Recognize that everyone has varying needs for connection, identify shared interests, be present and fully attentive, emphasize positives, and express thanks.

    COACH: Instruction is imperative. Leaders can’t become disgruntled with followers when they’ve failed to give clear directions and/or instructions. ALL must know WHAT they are learning and WHY. They also need to see the point of the objective in the bigger picture – how they relate to the overall goal. It’s also much easier to correct when one has already established a connection. Relationships before rules.

    CULTIVATE: Cultivation yields positive results – in gardening and more importantly in leading. Don’t fear pulling the best out of others due to self-preservation. Great followers do become great leaders, but using one candle to light another does not put out the fire of either. Encourage upward mobility.
