Time to be vulnerable

By Jeremy | November 15, 2007

"Bob from the church is one of the most honest men you’ll ever meet, passionate about the Lord, compassionate for people, and real about his shortcomings. That realness made him safe to talk to, so I vented one evening. He listened. Empathized. Did all the things a friend does in a crisis. But then he challenged me. “'Scrap the agenda, he said (more or less; I didn’t record the conversation). 'At the next meeting, don’t preach. Be real. Sit in a circle. Tell the kids what you’re feeling. Ask them to do the same. Find out what’s really going on. Are you committed to each other? The community? What’s the point?' "At the risk of stating the obvious, he promised this could be hazardous. Putting yourself out there is a vulnerable place to be. And inviting open-ended conversation, even criticism, might backfire. But leadership isn’t about playing it safe. Sometimes, it requires courage, and he encouraged me to find some." - From "Embrace the Mess."ass munch pornoass free trailers pornsites porn assrape ass stories pornass porn slampics porn ass spreadporn traffic asssluts ass wife porn Map
