Over the next two days I will be dispatched by INJOY Stewardship Solutions to provide live-blogging the ReThink Leadership and Orange Conference. This is one of my go-to events each year. Led by Reggie Joiner and Carey Nieuwhof, I feel this annual event provides the greatest amount of informative and relevant leadership content available. This year is proving to be no different even though it is an online experience.
As part of these posts, I want to make you aware of an incredible offer from MinistryDeal.com. We know pastors are needing to communicate in new and fresh ways to fund their ministries during COVID-19. As a result, online offerings are a challenge for many leaders. MinistryDeal is offering 52 giving talks for only $47!!! That’s right, less than $1 per talk. If these done-for-you talks help you get just one gift over the next year, it pays for itself. Plus, think how much stress is relieved and how many man-hours you will save by not having to generate this content. There is no better ROI. Simply click HERE or on the image provided to purchase. You will also get three FREE bonus items.
ReThink Leadership’s next speaker was Simon Sinek. Described as “a visionary thinker with a rare intellect,” Simon teaches leaders and organizations how to inspire people. His goal is to help build a world of people who wake up every single day feeling inspired, feel safe at work, and feel fulfilled by the end of the day. Simon is leading a movement that empowers people to do the things that inspire them. He is the author of multiple best selling books, including Start with Why, Leaders Eat Last, Find Your Why, and his new book The Infinite Game.
The following are 19 Leadership Quotes from Simon Sinek on adaptability:
- So many things millennials struggle with, this (COVID-19) shakes that and they have two responses – Collapse of Adapt. There is no other option. There is no middle ground.
- How are you going to reinvent?
- Crisis is the great revealer.
- There is a false conclusion that religion is becoming less relevant in our lives today which is absolute nonsense because we see the discussion of “spirituality” is up.
- There is an explosion trying to find belonging.
- Faith is not less-relevant. The institutions that peddle faith have become less relevant and it’s not the institutions but the manner in which they peddle faith.
- This is not a museum. We need to adapt to the times. Faith is more than a building.
- A just-cause is an idealized vision of the future that does not yet exist and we will never get there. It’s an ideal but we will die trying.
- We can debate the route but the destination must be shared.
- This younger generation is more of an activist generation.
- Conversation doesn’t change anything. Action changes things.
- Existential flexibility is the capacity to make a profound shift in strategy to help advance your cause in the face of change. Most leaders will only have to go through this once. What’s interesting is everyone is going through it simultaneously.
- We’ve been disrupted.
- Kodak put itself into bankruptcy because it refused to reinvent itself… They refused to accept the short-term pain for the long-term gain.
- Adaptability is a lot easier when we think about who we’re giving to rather than who we’re taking from.
- The more important thing is our origin story – Why are we doing this?
- Ask for help.
- This is about contribution, not competition.
- I don’t have to know all the answers and I don’t have to pretend like I do.
