Meeting with reps from Patrick Lencioni’s company The Table Group over a  couple of days.  Pat Richie and David Simpson have challenged our socks off. 

I hope to share more later, but a couple of the big ideas for me during the day were along the following lines…..

“The more likely we are to hold people accountable, the fewer opportunities we have to do so.”  THINK ABOUT IT !   

The issue isn’t how SMART you are in the way you go about your work/ministry, but rather how HEALTHY is your team and organization. 

When Iron sharpens Iron – sparks fly and the sharpening process is not always pleasant for the iron – but it’s worth it,  and healthy conflict can be a lot like this.
