Doing good is not just no being bad but intentionally creating more good in the workplace and especially in others. Anthony Tjan, author of Good People says, “ Pursuing goodness in yourself while surrounding yourself with good people is the only leadership decision that really, truly, matters. ” Tjan begins a di

I was interviewed by someone who is considering church revitalization for his next ministry assignment. My answers are not formalized – it was a casual conversation, but I figured someone else might have the same questions.

If you can inspire and motivate people in one arena, you should be able to apply those skills to do the same in another venue. But recent research is rightly challenging this notion. Studies suggest that the best leaders know a lot about the domain in which they are leading, and part of what makes them successful in a management role is tech
