Leadership Interview
One of my favorite blogs is the leadership blogspot . It's a collection of interviews with a variety of leaders. I did an interview with Josh Sargeant a week ago and it's posted on today's blog, September 12.
Josh asks some great questions: Who was the biggest influence on your life? Where do you see yourself in ten years? What books have impacted you?
Here's one of the questions.
Q: What is your biggest pet peeve as a leader?
A: Naysayers.
I've learned that every church has a bell curve. There are innovators and adopters who embrace change. But there are also laggards and resisters. I don't love laggards and resisters any less. But sometimes I want to show them a picture of Neil Armstrong getting out of the lunar module and stepping onto the moon. We put a man on the moon. Naysay no more!

Love this blog! I feel like everything we get to try is a "get too!" Who cares if we fail. At least we get to try doing so many new things. It's hard to believe that God lets us have this much fun. :) I think we take for granted the opportunity of risk. Millions of people around the world never get to try the things we try because it would cost them too much. I love being with people who pull me into "new atmosphere". Innovate on I say! Some of it will stick! Heidi
Sweet entry on your blog PM!!! I love your mindset, and I love the fact that you don't listen to the naysayers if it is a God ordained idea/thought/project. We all loved your sermon on Sunday. Keep the fire and intensity!!!!
Thanks Mark for the linkage!
