For the next three days, I will be live blogging from the ReThink Leadership Conference in Atlanta, GA. ReThink, open exclusively to senior pastors, campus pastors and executive pastors, is a unique gathering of church leaders who are committed to solving the biggest challenges facing your church and the Church.
Injoy Stewardship Solutions has dispatched me to attend this amazing event as a way to invest in your growth. They also want to invest in your leadership by offering you our latest FREE ebook Breaking The Next Growth Barrier: 10 Things Pastors Can Do To Break Down Growth Barriers by clicking HERE for your complimentary copy.
The next speaker was Jon Acuff revisiting the stage. The following are 11 leadership quotes I captured during his entertaining session:
- Empathy is understanding what someone needs and acting on it.
- If you only do the first part, people get infuriated.
- Care about what the people you care about care about.
- Chick-Fil-A is great at empathy.
- If you want to show more empathy, read less minds. Ask more questions.
- You have to have empathy to see where culture is going.
- People want to know “Do you see me?”
- People are going to come back to your church because they’re people, not a number.
- Some people are great at launching programs nobody is asking for.
- Choosing empathy is cheap. Losing empathy is expensive.
- Choosing it is one more phone call, one more email.
Next up is Kara Powell.
