TwitterI’m really stuck on Maxwell’s “Law of the Lid” right now. Basically, it says that leaders are the lid that their teams (followers) can’t surpass. If you’re a 7, those who follow you will be 6s or below. If they’re 8s, they’ll become the leader or find a 9 to follow. [...]

Whether you’re volunteering for a professional society like ASTD or a church, you’ve got to know ahead of time what you’re committing to, you’ve got to have a DTR (define the relationship) talk.

Thanks Fred, for your comment on my last post – it raised another thought inside of me.

As time passes, it seems like our purpose for being at Oasis in this season becomes more clear. Pastor Danny has asked us to take on some things we’re absolutely passionate about. I’m not sure what it will look like in 6 months – but I know it’s all about one thing – [...]
