Today, “idiot” typically refers to someone lacking intelligence. Historically, the Greek idiōtēs described a private individual disengaged from civic life. By that definition, I’ve often encountered—and occasionally been—an idiot. #CollisionLearner collisionlearner.com/post/don-t-be-…

What drives Steve? Steve is committed to both the group’s mission and its members, balancing these priorities through principled leadership. He is focused on outcomes but remains mindful of the impact on people. #CollisionLearner collisionlearner.com/post/being-ste…

Who is Steve? Steve is the proactive leader who doesn’t wait for others to act—he is the one who acts. Unlike those who follow established paths, Steve creates them. He leads by example, setting direction and inspiring others to follow. #CollisionLearner collisionlearner.com/post/being-ste…

Periodically, I try to end around my fundamentals—that I can outrun a bad diet, that I don’t have to put my wife first, that I don’t have to pray. This always leads to failure and a return to the trenches to reestablish my fundamentals. #CollisionLearner collisionlearner.com/post/the-futil…

A football team cannot end around the fundamentals. The temptation to do so is obvious. Blocking and tackling is trench-work: difficult, unglamorous, and unseen. It is not where the glory is.The same is true in the life of a man. #CollisionLearner collisionlearner.com/post/the-futil…

The Virtuous Leader views the departure of the Indispensable Man not as a hardship but as an opportunity for another man to become indispensable. The chair will not be empty for long. #CollisionLearner collisionlearner.com/post/departure…

The Indispensable Man may someday leave the group. What then? If the Leader has not prepared himself for that eventuality, he is likely to have two adverse reactions: resentment and panic. #CollisionLearner collisionlearner.com/post/departure…

A man shares leadership with another who brings a complementary skill to the team, some ability that the Leader does not himself have. That man is indispensable because he can do something with excellence that that the Leader cannot do. #CollisionLearner collisionlearner.com/post/departure…

When a trusted subordinate performs a delegated task with excellence, the Leader’s heart naturally fills with joy. That man, he thinks, has become indispensable to me. He is absolutely necessary to the accomplishment of the mission. #CollisionLearner collisionlearner.com/post/departure…

Because our Mission has a clear and actionable task toward a defined purpose, the partners of Waypoint can act in furtherance of it without specific instructions. No partner should ever have to ask himself “what should I do next ?” #CollisionLearner collisionlearner.com/post/equipping…

Waypoint does not Equip in a vacuum but rather through community because we are community of worship—a fact so important that it is in our name: Waypoint Community Church. #CollisionLearner collisionlearner.com/post/equipping…

My church’s Mission is equipping people for life in Christ through community in order to make disciples who make disciples. The first two words are critical as they set out the task that drives the Mission: Equipping People. #CollisionLearner collisionlearner.com/post/equipping…

Excellent is superior performance of critical skills. The Excellent man knows that most people will accept mere satisfactory performance, but he will not let that stop him. He is not going to be N.I.C.E. about it. #CollisionLearner collisionlearner.com/post/n-i-c-e-g…

Candid is graciously telling the hard truth and demanding to hear it from others. He knows that hard truth is by nature disagreeable to some, but he will not let that stop him. He is not going to be N.I.C.E. about it. #CollisionLearner collisionlearner.com/post/n-i-c-e-g…

Intentional is deliberate action toward defined ends. The Intentional man might break some eggs along the way in a way that some would find unpleasant, but he will not let that stop him. He is not going to be N.I.C.E. about it. #CollisionLearner collisionlearner.com/post/n-i-c-e-g…

The Minivan Centurion knows there will come a day when he will have reached his ultimate objective. On that day, the Creator will return his flesh to mud, and welcome his spirit back home to account for all that he has done. #CollisionLearner collisionlearner.com/post/chapter-n…

The #CollisionLearner seeks Adversity, engages in Argument and courts Failure so that he can turn his Knowledge into Wisdom

We add guilt to the stack of unforgiven misdemeanors accruing in our hearts. Although each one is small, the cumulative weight is too heavy to haul around. #CollisionLearner collisionlearner.com/post/guilty-wi…

At the time I thought quite highly of myself. I would never steal anything or trespass. I was my own master, guilty of nothing with no obligation to explain myself to anyone or ask forgiveness of any man. #CollisionLearner collisionlearner.com/post/guilty-wi…

The DA would call the docket of misdemeanor defendants, asking each one to plead guilty or not guilty. Some would say guilty, a few not guilty. But most would say “guilty with an explanation,” which was not one of the choices provided. #CollisionLearner collisionlearner.com/post/guilty-wi…

It occurred to me after watching the latest episode of Ted Lasso last night why I like the show so much. At my best, I am an #Andist like Ted and a #CollisionLearner like Roy. 1/
