Friday Session 5: Dave Gibbons: Third Culture Leadership
Author of book "Monkey and the Fish"
- In most orgs, vision comes from the core and goes out to fringe, but in better orgs, the vision comes from the fringe and is caught by the core
- your weakness and failures may be God's successes, his strength is made perfect in your weakness
- relationships trump vision
- Spend 75% devloping leaders, 25% time executing
- Medici effect - when multiple domains together, exponential experience
- How/what he learned:
1. Priority shifts
2. Design/space shifts - They focus on the fringe.
- Obedience is more important than passion - Jesus didn't feel great about going to the cross ("if possible, let this cup pass...")
- 4 acts of obedience in the church:
1. deeper collaboration
2. Communal living - learn to walk and talk together
3. Prayer - all the great movements have prayer as their core
4. Radical sacrifice for the outsider
My Main Take-away: Develop relationship and prayer within churches
