First, a little back story:

CalebStrong.org (CS) began as a Men’s Fraternity group that simply kept meeting after the three seasons. We explored Apologetics, Biblical history, and Strength of Character, as found in the example given in the Books found in the Bible, like Joshua, Daniel, and many others.

I became involved (and thus distracted) by another good work. This work was an idea for a ministry called Redeemed-N-Delivered(RnD).

I have written and talked about the concept of true leadership and leadership in organizations.  My focus in my career is to build high functioning teams.  Today a colleague sent me this TED Talk video link that speaks to exactly what I mean when I talk about leadership and true team building.

 

In my nearly 20 years in this industry, most people when asked, said they prefer to work hard for a boss they trust (and like) over having a cush job working for a boss they can’t stand.

There are exceptions to this, of course, but many times, those people aren’t really working the cush job, they are preparing for their next career stepping stone.  Take a look at … Click to Continue →
