Summit Session 3

Rev. Floyd Flake spoke at Session 3 of the Summit. I have to admit that he was the hardest guy I've ever tried to take notes on, and I'm a pretty good note-taker (color coded even!). But there were still some great leadership insights thrown our way, and I managed to catch a couple of them:

• Understanding the process must be coupled with an understanding of direction -- where we are moving to, while achieving the ultimate goal.
• Failure to delegate is the pitfall of passive leadership.
• Information flow and open communication are signs that a problem can be solved.
• Any entity requires transformation before it can be the best that God desires it to be.
• Our role may be to introduce change into a process; we may not be around to see the change take its final form -- consider John the Baptist.
