The Learning Leader

One of the most discouraging things I have heard from different leaders in the past year is that “I don’t have enough time to read all of these things.” There is truth to this.  Time is precious, and its a gift.  That’s why it is important to prioritize what one does in their work and as a leader. Whether its reports, blogs, articles, publications, newest … Continue reading The Learning Leader

But that’s okay. I still intend to share some of what I have read or pondered about over the past week.  This week’s categories are:  Church and … Continue reading This Week’s Links

Words and Actions Matter- Neighbor Love in Light of Recent Events

I was fully intending for my next post to be about leadership, primarily about learning leaders. But then news had to break out over the past two days across the country, in this week before Christmas which I feel called to reflect on and perhaps even respond to.  My response is my own personal reflection, and is not representative of anything or anyone but myself. … Continue reading Words and Actions Matter- Neighbor Love in Light of Recent Events

These are reflections about being a leader in the midst of personal transition. These are personal reflections, and not academic ones. I … Continue reading Leading in Transition

Nelson Mandela

Photo Credit As you have probably heard, Nelson Mandela has passed away today.  I am not writing this post to share that news story, necessarily.  If you follow me on Twitter, you likely noticed a series of re-tweets this afternoon.  It felt like the best thing I could do to share some of the thoughts of others about this man, Nelson Mandela. Mandela according to … Continue reading Nelson Mandela

It’s Tuesday.  That means its time for this weeks links. Unlike last week, they aren’t so extensive. That is to be expected though when the United States observed the Thanksgiving holiday for much of the second half of last week and weekend.  That said, there has still been a great deal of good and thought provoking things shared in the past week that I now … Continue reading This Week’s Links
