Episode 024:
A Common Source of Failure in Leadership and How to Avoid It
When we treat adaptive issues as if they are technical problems, we have misdiagnosed the issue. Often, this leads to more challenges and complicates the path forward.
In this episode, we have a conversation about leadership in the local church and what it sounds like to address adaptive challenges. We also explore what might happen if the same issue is dealt with as if it were a technical problem.
