J. Lee Wittington
The conversation began with some academic advising…
• If you want to get published, you need to send your best paper to a friendly conference for review or critique.
• Southwestern Academy of Management Conference would be one such conference.
We shifted to J. Lee’s interaction with LifeChurch which he has been attending for a number of years and recently has become more intimately acquainted with their processes and structure.
• LifeChurch has a very high feedback culture
• In their hiring process, they will terminate a conversation or interview if at any point it seems like it is not going to work out.
• Once you are hired, getting fired is very difficult.
• One value is the teachable spirit, or humility at every level of the organization.
Finally, we shifted the conversation to a more general leadership subject matter.
• Do the thing that energize you and stop doing the things that don’t.
• Sometimes its easier to lead without formal authority.
• Recommends “Leadership on the Line” by Ronald Heifetz
• Choose the important over the urgent
• We need to be in the press box and connect the dots as well as being in the game. It’s a both/and in order to succeed.
• What are you learning J. Lee?
o The difference between Godly ambition and worldly ambition.
o Its all about motive
o What do a lot of things for God, killing ourselves for the Kingdom, but am I really doing what God wants me to do?
• What is something I should do?
o Pray about who God would send into my life to develop a relationship
o Pray through my calendar
o Don’t be a full time pastor and part time Christian
o Get in front of your calendar
o Let your calendar reflect your priorities
