7 Results Of My Greatest Leadership Mistake

No leader is perfect.  We all make mistakes and have regrets from past behaviors and/or decisions.  I am no different than anyone else in this area. 

Ironically, the worst decisions I have made result from passivity.  The greatest leadership mistake I have ever made is that I have not taken enough risks.     

The fear of taking risks has had the following 7 results which I deeply regret:

• Not launching a new product that would revolutionize small groups in churches because of the upfront capital needed. 
• Shrinking back from sharing my faith.
• Often not made the hard choices or have the hard conversations that needed to take place.
• Often defaulted to people pleasing.
• Sometimes not protecting those who needed protecting the most.
• Not giving whole-hearted participation during times of worship.
• Not writing my first book….yet.

Oh how I truly admire risk takers!

The good news is that I still have breath.  There is still time to change and take the risks needed to change human life.  Let’s see what happens.
