In this podcast, Kurt and Frantz discuss the principles that Frantz has learned from his professional life, along with his experience as a bishop and counselor in a stake presidency. Highlights 12:00 A bishop presides over a ward but his mission is to help “the one.” Frantz always tried to go out and visit the members to help him focus on individuals. 13:20 Kurt and Frantz discuss how to schedule visits with the members and how Frantz went about visiting. 18:00 What Frantz has learned as he has been transitioning from a bishop to the stake presidency. 20:00 Stake and ward dynamics. Stake leaders should counsel with ward leaders before making decisions. Ward and stake leaders should be working together. 24:15 Counsel with one another to create the best outcomes. 25:00 Our Heavenly Father established councils. Members can receive more inspiration about planning and coordinating the Lord’s work. 26:30 Learn your duties and responsibilities. Use the handbook more to learn and know the purpose of each organization. 34:30 Seek to love, unify, and lift others. 38:45 How do we unify? One way is to counsel and not have one person dominate the conversation. Each person listens respectfully to one another. 43:00 There is no person that is the fountain of all knowledge. 43:30 You are a representative of Jesus Christ. Understand the nature of the savior and do your best. He can make up the rest. 46:40 You are not representing yourself in a meeting but the savior Jesus Christ. 48:10 The greatest leader is the greatest servant.
