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.
The funny part is that I was expecting to speak, showed up about 2 minutes late, and one of the men was already preaching! It was great and here are some of my notes.
