Leadership 2008

Your Responses to Session 1!

 One of the best parts of the Summit is hearing what other attenders are thinking and hearing about how God is moving.

We hope to hear your thoughts right here in the comments!

Here are some of the comments we've received by text or email...

"I have an axiom. Self has one objective. Selflessness has many objectives.
"

"Hybels delivered a timely message in tune with God's heart. His ability to be sensitive to God's lead is clear, life changing and appreciated. Thanx!"



Here are some responses we've encountered in the blogosphere...

"I have for a long time been someone who admires Bill and have learned many leadership lessons from him. What has been fascinating and encouraging to me since getting to know Bill is that he is the same person in private as he is in person. He thinks about leadership. He talks about leadership. He is a leader. And he passionately loves leading a church and movement of churches."

"As usual, Bill Hybels set the tempo with fantastic talk on the process of making decisions as leaders, called "The High Drama of Decision Making." Hybels rarely misses in this venue and my guess is that most of the narrow minded people who've consistently criticized him over the years have failed to actually listen to the man share his passion. There is no way that a person with a focused mind and open ears can hear Bill Hybels speak and not be moved by his passion for the lost, for the glory of God and for the local church."

"My '1 Big Take-Away' from this opening session was the fact that good leaders think enough about their decision-making processes & experiences (& journal their decision-making processes) that they come up with their own 'Leadership Axioms.'"

I have an axiom "Let someone else toot your horn". In this case I'd modify it to say "Let someone else sell your stuff..." As a first time in a long time attender to the Summit, I was inspired by the material, but overwhelmed with people hawking their products - especially the speakers. The printed media provided more than enough info on the stuff to buy - we didn't need advertising to drive the content of the conference as well. From my limited perspective, that's what it looked like... at least for day one.

My axiom: Sometimes, you have to choose either losing a ministry or losing a coworker.

I thought Bill was right on target again in this session. I've always journaled my reading & prayers, but never my decision-processes...so I've already started trying it out last night.

Having a framework for decision making, a network of advisors, and an awareness of principles that have worked for us in making decisions in the past are all excellent recommendations applicable to marketing and public relations professionals.
