If you’re a leader, you understand the importance of vision casting. You frequently have to remind those you lead why they do what they do. You remind them of how every task, no matter how seemingly insignificant, ties back to the vision of your church or organization. It’s leadership 101. You’ve likely worked hard to […]
One of my greatest joys and passions is building great teams. I love finding the match between a great individual and a great role. It’s a magical combination. For much of my career I’ve relied on my intuition to find these winning combinations. But I’ve also developed some systems and processes that help guide myself […]
What do you do when your boss writes a book? You shout it from the mountaintops and encourage everyone to read it. That’s just plain smart! So yes, I’ll be shouting pretty loudly this week that Pete Wilson‘s new book, Let Hope In, releases today! But I don’t shout simply because he’s my boss. I […]
