Balancing Perfect and Progress as a Leader | Crossmap Blogs (opens the original)
Read excerpt
As a leader, it seems I’m always trying to balance perfect and progress. I want things done well. We should think through the details, ask good questions, anticipate problems, and produce something we can be proud of. But I also want us to move. I want forward motion. And those two desires are often in tension with each other. If we wait until everything is perfect, we may never make progress. The opportunity may pass. Momentum may disappear. Someone else may solve the problem while we are still
Dear Younger Version of Me: You Don’t Know What You Don’t Know | Crossmap Blogs (opens the original)
Read excerpt
If I could sit down with that younger version of myself, I’d tell him: When I was in my twenties, I had more confidence than experience. I had ideas about leadership, marriage, and life. Some were good. Others needed a few years – and a few mistakes – to mature. You don’t have to have an answer every time someone asks a question. It’s okay to say, I don’t know, but I’ll find out.

Look Straight Ahead – A Biblical Leadership Principle | Crossmap Blogs (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Look straight ahead, and fix your eyes on what lies before you. Proverbs 4:25 NLT The more you lead, the more opinions you will hear. Some will be helpful. Some will be painful.

I have learned through the years that even my critics can teach me something. Sometimes they see something I’ve missed. Sometimes
How I Process Ideas – And I Have a Lot of Them | Crossmap Blogs (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I am often asked how I process ideas. It’s well known among our team that I get a lot of ideas. Some ideas are good. Others simply aren’t. Some seem brilliant for about 24 hours and then I’m really glad I didn’t act on them. But when an idea sticks – especially a big one – I’ve developed a fairly predictable process for what happens next. I’m not suggesting this is the only way to lead an idea from thought to implementation. It is simply what leadership often looks like for me. I rarely want to
Ten Candid Opinions About Meetings | Crossmap Blogs (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I have some strong opinions about meetings. Maybe that comes from having attended thousands of them through the years. Some meetings have moved organizations forward, developed leaders, solved problems, and generated incredible ideas. Others have made me wonder how many years of our collective lives we could get back. Meetings are necessary in every healthy church or organization. Yet simply putting people in a room – or on a Zoom call – doesn’t mean something productive is going to happen. So,
