Are You Remarkable?

Lead Change Blog

In a world troubled with polarization, patronization and partisan posturing, remarkable leadership is in short supply.

4 Ways an Introverted Pastor is Extroverted on Sunday

Ron Edmondson

In my book “ The Mythical Leader ”, I have a whole chapter on introversion – mostly because every time I post about introversion I hear from pastors and church members who talk about how introversion negatively impacts their ministry. And, I have heard from well-meaning (hopefully well-meaning) people who don’t believe an introverted person can serve effectively as a pastor.

As European Banks Retreat from the World Stage, China Is Stepping Up

Harvard Business Review
