“Lead the learning. When you lead the learning, you’re back into your calling. What is the Greek word for ‘disciple’? It means learner.”
“We start by discerning and we get clear on anything we can solve with our expertise. Anything that we know how to do that’s a technical problem, we should solve it.”
“Leading the learning is actually learning about the deeper things that are going to lead us into transformation, not just what’s going to solve the most immediate crisis.”
“The Scriptures call me to be prayerful, to wait upon the Lord. I see the example of Jesus in the garden spending a night in prayer. Then you go to Harvard Business Review and it’s telling leadership people, hey, stop being reactive, learn to respond, learn to be reflective. And I start thinking there’s a deeper set of wisdom here.”
“Adaptive capacity is your capacity to hold on to your dearest values…and adapt that to a changing environment so that it will thrive in the new environment.”
“One of the biggest disruptions of our world is the crises come faster, faster, faster. So it’s not, how do we avoid future crises? It’s, how do we have the capacity when it comes? Cause it will come.”
“I always tell people that in adaptive leadership, everybody will be changed, starting with the leaders.”
“To humbly lead the learning is to go back to understanding that we are a community of disciples who are going to discern the next step together of what God wants us to do. And we’re going to do it faithfully.”
