PRAGMATIC LEADERS
- Many times we rationalize a questionable method as practical
because ‘it works.’ But is ‘working’ the real test of spiritual
endeavors?...Working isn’t the perfect test, for Moses struck
the rock twice and it worked. That is, water came out – but he
was kept from the Promised Land. Our nonscriptural human
methods might work, but do they keep us from entering the
“Promised Land” of peace and joy?^2
- Having the world’s best idea will do you no good unless you
act on it. People who want milk shouldn’t sit on a stool in the
middle of a field in hopes that a cow will back up to them.^3
- Availability has been defined as “being willing to start where
you are, use what you have, and do the best you can.”^4
- Truly adaptive firms with adaptive cultures are awesome
competitive machines. They produce superb products and
services faster and better. They run circles around bloated
bureaucracies...^5
