A few weeks ago we started a discussion about The Floundering Leader. We talked about how to encourage and support the flounder-er and what to do if you are the one floundering. That discussion got me processing another side of this issue… What happens when you are trying to lead someone who is floundering in […]
I can remember rummaging through Nan’s purse to find her brag book. It was always there… usually not too hard to find because she had likely had it out recently to share our pictures with her friends. I loved Nan’s brag book. It was a tangible reminder of how much she loved me (granted that […]
I did it again. One of my greatest repeated leadership failures. I failed to L I S T E N. Oh, I hear words. I read emails. I have conversations. But sometimes I just don’t listen. I don’t pick up on attitude. I don’t read eyes. I don’t notice lack of enthusiasm. I don’t observe […]

One of the challenges I find as a leader is sorting through all of the great resources out there for equipping yourself and your team. There are so many GOOD books, articles, blogs, etc. that sometimes I feel like all I’m doing is reading or studying rather than applying anything that I’m learning. I also […]
I find myself processing a lot what I call the “grey” issues of leadership… the answers and decisions that are not so easy to figure out. (I think that’s why they call it leadership, right?) As Cross Point has grown, one of the big grey areas for me is the leadership of letting go. I […]
Leaders emerge in the heat of the moment. That statement may not sound overly profound, but I’ve never found it to be more true than this week.
