Back in town…

March 30, 2008 in Uncategorized with 0 Comments

I just got back in town after 8 amazing days in Mexico City with some college students from UCLA. We served with two of our partenrs, Amextra and Partners in Hope. That was my second trip with these partners and it has continued to be life changing, especially this one. So I will be posting about the trip, my experiences, the partners we serve with, and some of the challenging theological insights from the trip. So stay tuned.

And I just posted a few minutes ago at Leadership Network book blog, so check it out.

Not that you were waiting, but sorry I haven’t had anything new. I don’t like to ever announce via Facebook, my blog, etc. when I will be out of town for an extensive period of time since I have a wife and baby daughter at home. So it probably just looked like I was lazy.

Talk with you soon…

CEO’s and Catalysts: The Future of Leadership

March 12, 2008 in Uncategorized with 1 Comment

Just posted at Leadership Network on the book, The Starfish and the Spider: The Unstoppable Power of Leaderless Organizations.
This is a really amazing book. I was nodding my head throughout, both nervous and excited about the future of leadership. Nervous because it involves a lot of changes. Excited, because the changes need to be made.

I will blog more about this book later, but here is the one chart that really stuck out to me the most. They compare the CEO model of leadership versus the catalyst. Very interesting and insightful, and makes one wonder what type of leader is most effective in the Church. I have my thoughts.

CEO

  • The Boss
  • Command-and-Control
  • Rational
  • Powerful
  • Directive
  • In the Spotlight
  • Order
  • Organizing

Catalyst

  • A Peer
  • Trust
  • Emotionally Intelligent
  • Inspirational
  • Collaborative
  • Behind the Scenes
  • Ambiguity
  • Connecting
