Andy Stanely's Recent Random Learnings: Part 1

As I sit in the third session of the DRIVE 08 conference, I am grateful that Andy decided to eject his pre-planned talk on Making Vision Stick.Andy is basing his talk on five quotes that he is keeping in front of him these days. What follows are the quotes and links if you want to learn more

1) "To reach people no one else is reaching we much do things that no one else is doing"- Craig Groeschel of LifeChurch.tv. Andy shared how more success in church makes you less aware of the unchurched. The exhortation is to become preoccupied with those you haven't reached as opposed to those you are trying to keep.

2) "The next generation product almost never comes from the previous generation" -Al Ries, Focus: The Future of Your Company Depends on It Andy reminds leaders that something's next- you can fight it or fund it. The take away is to be a student and not a critic when new things arise. And be looking to the emerging generations to discover it.

3) "What do I believe is possible to do in my field, but if it could be done would fundamentally change my field." - Joel Barker (Joel Barker had an active presence in business leadership consulting in the 80's and 90's on the topic of paradigm shifts.) Andy spoke to the application of multisite. Now we can separate point leadership from teaching. Usually the church has an 80 MPH leader who is slowed down by a 40 MPH leader. The multisite concepts releases leaders. What's next?
