GTD Insight: How Next Action Thinking Can Fill a Leadership Void [The Daily Saint]
If you haven’t caught up with Leadership Journal in a while, their recent edition focuses on teams and how they lead. I was especially fascinated by an article about how one church went from a one pastor model to a team approach of four men who lead together.
