Why has the reaction been so incredibly negative? Why has this ‘Decision’ rubbed so many the wrong way?
I think this situation provides us with an incredible leadership lesson.
What Lebron got wrong was:
1. He didn’t convey sincerity when he acknowledged his supporters.
2. He didn’t provide the professional courtesy in communicating with his former employers what his final decision was.
3. He didn’t seem into account how his decision would impact others.
4. He seemed to only think of himself and his personal happiness.
What can leaders learn from this?
1. As leaders we must take the time to communicate.
2. As leaders we must graciously acknowledge the sacrifices others make to strengthen our leadership.
3. As leaders we must take into account how our decisions effect others.
4. As leaders we must understand that leadership is our God-given opportunity to serve.

For more than a week, the sports world has been in an uproar over ‘The Decision’:
Lebron James leaving Cleveland to become a member of the Miami Heat.
But was it so bad? Did Lebron commit a crime? Did he break the law? Is it a sin to relocate and take another job in the same field?
Most of us would admit (even those in Cleveland), that no crime was committed and no laws were broken.
So if that was the case then why are jerseys being burned and letters like this being written?
