Sometimes the best place to be is completely beyond our capacity. Comfort creates complacency. In chaos and complexity we are forced to face our limitations. We are challenged to confront our fears. The limits of our faith and trust in God are exposed. We tediously work to manage our world so as to stay within […]
Don’t point out a problem without offering a solution! This is similar to the idea we discussed last week about presenting a pipe dream without a plan. As a leader, you are a problem solver.
