  • Global Leadership Summit (GLS) 2017 Notes (#gls17, #gls2017)

    August 18, 2017

    I recently attended with many members of Christ Lutheran Church the Willow Creek Association (WCA)'s Global Leadership Summit 2017 (#gls17, #gls2017).  I experienced it via remote campus video streaming at Journey Community Church in La Mesa (@Journey_Church). They are awesome hosts!

    My full notes that I took are available in PDF if you are interested.  (Original version posted on 8/18/2017. Updated on 8/19/2017.)

    In reviewing the notes before posting this, I've been thinking and contemplating on the following 'big ideas' since the event:

    • We need leaders who do not fight with each, but work together.
    • At the end of each day, list three things that you are grateful for in a journal and reflect on them.
    • There is no correlation between thinking you are creative and being creative.
    • We (as followers of Jesus) have to be with the people who have problems. Be close to people who are suffering.  Go where the pain is. Serve them.
    • Create within your organization a culture that recognizes and embraces change rather than resists change.
    • If you (as a leader) give ‘freedom’ to your employes at a level that starts to make you feel uncomfortable, then you are on the track.
    • WHITESPACE is a ‘strategic pause’ taken between activities, and we all need more pause in our lives.
    • Studying "Failed Teams" is not going to show you how to build "Best Teams."
    • Consider this: 'talent x effort = skill' and 'skill x effort = achievement'. Effort counts twice.
    • Courage like fear is contagious.

    I also have notes from 2014 and 2016. If you have any comments, questions, thoughts, etc. on any of the topics in this post, then please let me know.
