There was a really neat introduction and some talk about Compassion International before Pat Lencioni spoke. It is worth mentioning too.
Lencioni’s comment about “If it isn’t servant leadership, it’s economics.” has really resonated with me since the GLS. There are a lot of systemic problems in organizations and churches that go back to that issue. If the leader is in it for himself or his own agenda, every decision is viewed through the economics of his agenda. Not necessarily economics of his monetary benefit, but the economics of the ROI toward his agenda.
Two takeaways I got from this was that he saw the deeper cause and motive behind just making movies and a lot of money. … Sure, people need to know how to render lighting and keyframe the polygons, but they can learn that their own way, what he was concerned about was teaching the culture of creativity and flexibility and trust that will then turn out amazing movies.
