Fatigued? Learn to Draft

September 7, 2009 Leadership

Have you felt the burn of fatigue? It’s difficult to define but easy to feel. It’s when you can’t run another step, or lift another weight, or swim another lap. The muscles have filled with lactic acid and you’re done for the day.
How about leadership fatigue? In a similar way, it’s when you just can’t [...]

Are Today’s Students On Your Radar?

August 4, 2009 Students

Recently I had the opportunity to meet with some people who are totally serious about fulfilling the Great Commission in the next ten years. Yep, vision flowed.

Why Twitter Works For Me

July 10, 2009 Culture

I confess I began Twittering one month ago as a skeptic. My felt need for more info about more people doing more stuff was pretty low. But, as I mentioned here, I decided to give it a try for 30 days. I’m glad I did. Here are five reasons why:
1. I learn a lot, very [...]

How Social Networking Is Changing Our World

June 30, 2009 Culture

It’s no longer a question of if? or when? The question now is to what extent? Whether you like texting, Facebook, YouTube or Twitter doesn’t really matter anymore. Social networking is changing our world. The recent uprising by young voters in Iran (nearly 2/3 of the country’s 71 million people are under 30) has instructed [...]

How Do You Lead Well?

June 28, 2009 Books & Quotes

In stark contrast to most daily headlines and the last post concerning How The Mighty Fall, I have two deep convictions. First, every human endeavor stands or falls on leadership. Second, good leadership is possible and accessible to most people who are willing to learn, to serve, and to make decisions that are unpopular.

Book Bite: How The Mighty Fall

June 25, 2009 Books & Quotes

“Too big to fail” now adorns the tombstones of once-great companies that have stumbled, fallen and can’t get up. Companies such as Bear Stearns and Lehman Brothers, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, Merrill Lynch and WaMu,  General Motors and AIG.
How do the mighty fall? Is decline inevitable? Can it be detected and even avoided?

Why Piper’s Going to Tweet

June 7, 2009 Culture

If you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em?
So far I’ve been resisting Twitter. I have an account, and as of this afternoon, 11 followers. I signed up several weeks ago but until this afternoon had not posted a tweet.
When I invited pros and cons on a recent Facebook post, cons outweighed the pros by about 7:1. [...]

Twenty Years Ago Today…

June 4, 2009 Movements

Who can forget the grainy image of one courageous student staring down a column of tanks? Twenty years ago today the Chinese government chose lethal force to deal with a swelling student-led movement in Tiananmen Square. That fateful decision appears to have triggered one of the greatest spiritual awakenings in church history. The exponential growth [...]
