From Jim Collins – Good to Great
The moment a leader allows himself to become the primary reality people worry about, rather than reality being the primary reality, you have a recipe for mediocrity, or worse. This is one of the key reasons why less charismatic leaders often produce better long-term results than their more charismatic counterparts.
For what you know of Student Ministries at ECC – do we culture an environment that allows people to be most concerned with the kingdom (and our effectiveness) and less concerned about the feelings of leaders?
Please respond!

Hmmm…Very deep! That may explain a few things that I’ve witnessed over the years….
From my view point I would have to say we foster a very healthy environment that is not dependent upon personalities! We seem to be careful to not “hype up” or “sensationalize” the ministry but to just say it like it is. Honesty!
Honesty, integrity….That’s what is truly lasting!

Thanks for the reply Lori – this is something that each of us should strive for…and if we get off base we need to call each other on it…
