Leadership and “Thinkholes”
March 18th, 2009 Posted in Church, Church Planting, Culture, LeadershipWhat keeps you from discovering your next breakthrough idea? What is that ONE thing in your organization, church or ministry that will take you over the top in accomplishing what God has called you to do?
One of my new discoveries in the world of leadership is Will Mancini of Auxano. Auxano is an organization that helps you clarify your vision in a way to communicate with maximum clarity for maximum mobilization.
In a recent leadership setting Will shared six “Thinkholes” that keep us from discovering our unique calling in ministry and church life. I will share all of them here and shed some light on them in the next couple of leadership posts.
Thinkholes:
- Ministry Treadmills
- Competency Trap
-
Needs Based Slippery Slope
-
Cultural Whirlpool
-
Conference Maze
-
Denominational Rut
Start identifying some of your “thinkholes”. What keeps you so busy and distracted that you can’t take the time to discover your unique idea or calling?
