Curious though??? Did they let you lead? Obviously you are still there so that might answer the question. Or did they let you some and you still face some opposition.Jason Curleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12552848845452427399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24561639.post-37746550692714788292007-05-27T07:54:00.000-05:002007-05-27T07:54:00.000-05:00Jason I hear ya.

I remember one meeting when our committee wasn't letting me make changes and lead in a different direction. I looked at them and said, "Are you going to let me lead like I was hired to do or are you going to continue to call the shots? if it's the latter then you need to find someone else to replace me." <BR/><BR/>Looking back it probably wasn't the smartest thing for me to do especially being new. Sometimes though we are afraid of change and we need a rude awakening to show us that change is necessary. If we aren't willing to change then I think we have a pride issue.Chris Dayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17622332326288736396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24561639.post-54901531456075951072007-05-26T22:19:00.000-05:002007-05-26T22:19:00.000-05:00Sweet! I love it. You're right, Jason. Usually ...Sweet! I love it. You're right, Jason. Usually the leaders making a difference don't have the time to defend. They're too busy learning, redefining and moving ahead. There's way too much to be accomplished to waste so much time defending what we're doing. If it lines up with God's word and results in changed lives then what in the world is there to defend?!?Tristie Fischerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05986973814506834703noreply@blogger.com
