During their conversation, they discuss being a successful leader of a large team and aggressive time management.<br> BEST QUOTES<br> "The more I grow in the leadership roles that I'm doing, the more I need to learn from sources that think about leadership in our culture, and simultaneously the more I need to grow in my own spiritual formation."<br> <br> "The Bible is not a leadership handbook. There are leadership examples in the Bible. The Bible is the story of God's redemptive plan."<br> <br> "As I learn to be a better leader, I also need to learn to be a servant and one who loves Jesus more everyday and is growing in my knowledge of Him."<br> <br> "I've got to move from being an effective executive to now building an effective senior leadership team of effective executives."<br> <br> "If you are the leader, you can't offload the championing of new ideas that are being introduced into a system that has to be walked through."<br> <br> "Aggressive time management is hard because you have to shift some of the access that people have."<br> <br> "When you exercise aggressive time management so you can be a good steward all people see are that you are saying no to things they think are important."<br> <br> "Every leader of a large organization does a lot of things, but they have a team to help them do those things."<br> <br> "Part of leadership in the home is helping my teenagers navigate what is a very different cultural world than what I went through as a teenager. Social media has changed everything."<br> <br> "My hobbies are being with my kids, and most, of not all, of my time is investing with them."<br> <br> "Leadership is something you learn, not something you step into."<br> <br> "I underestimated what I could learn from other people. I underestimated how much I would need leadership. I really underestimated how much leadership would define ultimately my ministry."<br> <br> "Leadership is not the answer to everything, it's not a magic potion."<br> RECOMMENDED RESOURCES<br> <a href="https://myleadershippipeline.com">Pipeline 2018</a> conference<br> <br> <a href="https://newchurches.com/podcasts/">New Churches</a> podcast<br> <br> <a href="https://www.lifeway.com/en/product/designed-to-lead-P005777735">Designed to Lead</a> by Eric Geiger and Kevin Peck<br> <br> <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Master-Discipleship-Personal-evangelism-library/dp/0800786556/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1530182229&sr=8-1&keywords=the+master+plan+of+discipleship">The Master Plan of Discipleship</a> by Robert Coleman<br> <br> <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Great-Work-Performers-Better-Achieve/dp/1476765626/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1530182258&sr=1-1&keywords=great+at+work">Great at Work</a> by Morten Hanson<br> <br> <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Brand-vs-Wild-Resilient-Environments/dp/1138736015/ref=sr_1_2?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1530182293&sr=1-2&keywords=on+brand+strategy+lewis">Brand vs. Wild</a> by Jonathan David Lewis<br> <br> <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Effective-Executive-Definitive-Harperbusiness-Essentials/dp/0060833459/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1530182369&sr=1-1&keywords=effective+executive">The Effective Executive</a> by Peter Drucker<br> <br> <a href="https://www.lifeway.com/en/product/planting-missional-churches-P006108151">Missional Churches</a> by Ed Stetzer<br> <br> <a href="https://www.amazon."></a>
