things i'm learning...

So... back from Drive in the first full week back. You may have heard this, but going to conferences like these are like trying to sip water from a fire hydrant. So I plan to take the next few weeks digesting all of my notes... first quote:

"teams use trust as currency. If it is in short supply, then the team is poor. If trust abounds, the members of the team have purchase power with each other to access each other's gifts, talents, energy, creativity, and love. The development of trust them becomes a significant leadership strategy. Trust creates the load limits on the relationship bridges among team members." - Reggie McNeal

I love the team that God has placed under my leadership. I am doing my best to earn their trust. I led some poor teams in the past - accepting responsibility myself. Trust. Trust is powerful. Trust allows your team to say things they wouldn't normally be able to say to each other. The bigger the amount of trust, the bigger the load limits on the team.
