The Three Key Elements of Organizational Culture
It doesn’t matter if you are a little league team, a church, a school, or a Fortune 500 company, organizational culture matters.
Moving Forward
I purposely and intentionally choose to love, engage, and have relationship with those who see the world and live different than me.
The Real Battle is Mental
Only I could decide how I would view things, respond, and see the immediate struggles. This is where the real battle took place on a daily basis. This was my fight. This is where I would win or lose. The mental battle would decide how I came out on the other side.
Overwhelmed and Balancing Life
Believe it or not, it is easy to let others dictate what you think really matters. Others will tell you what you should place value on and how you should prioritize your life. The question is not what they find most important, but what you find most important.
Overcoming Obstacles
Like all of you, we’ve had our ups and downs, our moments of joy and sadness, and days when everything seemed to go right and then suddenly all of it fell apart. It is the nature of life. I would love to say that it is always easy or rosy, but we know that isn’t true or realistic.
Urban Meyer, Mars Hill and Toxic Leadership
I would love to say that this kind of culture only exist in sports, Hollywood, politics, or the business world. But the truth is that it happens consistently within the church as well.
Animal Crackers and Cancer
I continue to choose joy, celebrate the wins, and heed the advice that chemo is not the enemy, cancer is the enemy. I know that I am not alone. I know that I am loved.
The Roller Coaster
As much as we would love to get off this wild ride and be on stable ground, we realize we can’t. We have to go through the rough parts first.
Leading Through Crisis
How we respond, live, act, and treat others speaks volumes in the difficult days. Lead knowing that you are being watched.
Perfection and Pain
These last few weeks have caused me to reflect on the idea of perfection. Is anything really perfect?
A Woman’s Place?
It’s taken me a long time to realize that I can do anything I want in this world. I do not have to stand in the background and just watch.
Outward Focused Commitments
You see, the challenge for any leader is moving from the complex to the attainable, moving to actions that are replicable and being courageous enough to start.
The Actions of the Uncommon Leader
Consider the actions of the common leader doing uncommon things. One of those is a deep belief and commitment to daily disciplines that are well-defined.
Uncommon Leadership by Common People
Have you ever stopped to think about who is really making the biggest impact on your life and leadership? I believe it is often the most common people in our lives who are making the biggest difference.
The Beginning
Today, I’m launching Collision Leadership. Simply put, it is my attempt and desire to continue the work of shaping lives, walking with others, and helping others to live their best.
