Ask Whatever You Wish

Culture

Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing…. If you abide in me and my words abide in you, ask whatever you wish and it shall be done for you. Jesus in John 15 I have a confession to make—we’re [...]

How Do We Learn? How Should We Lead?

Culture

If web 2.0 has taught us anything, it’s that there are no limits to the amount of information out there. I hear 13 hours of video are uploaded onto youtube.com every minute, 346 million people around the world regularly read blogs, and 900,000 new blog posts surface each hour. (Thanks, Kelly.) More information doesn’t necessarily [...]

How Do We Lead Gen F?

Culture

Gen F – the Facebook Generation. Facebook hit 200 million users this week, in 40 languages.  That’s doubled from 100 million just 8 short months ago. [Update: Facebook hit 500 million registered users in the summer of 2010.] The NY Times graphed the progress, including the generational element. If Facebook were a country, it would [...]

Slumdog Millionaire: Just See It

Culture

My first words out coming out of the theater were “Wow. Wow!” If you haven’t seen this movie yet, you’re missing out. Slumdog Millionaire opens with Jamal, a kid from the sprawling slums of Mumbai (formerly Bombay), India, who somehow earned a seat on India’s TV show “Who Wants To Be A Millionaire,” being brutally [...]

2009 = Service and Innovation

Culture

Here’s a prophetic word for 2009. Who will be the standout leaders in the coming year? Innovators who genuinely serve those entrusted to their care. Innovators who serve their clientele, their customers, their team, or their organizations will stand in stark contrast to the cancerous rash of self-serving kleptocracies we experienced in 2008. From Mugabe [...]

What Is Coaching, Anyway?

Culture

What drives someone to pay anywhere from $250 to $1200 (or more) per month for a weekly 45 minute phone call? I believe it’s partly due to our innate, God-given desire to grow, improve, and succeed.
