Day One, Session Two was Marcus Buckingham. If you’ve ever read/used a Gallup Poll on management or leadership, this guy probably had something to do with it. The big thesis from his presentation was spend more time playing to your strengths. Apparently, the most successful companies encourage playing to employees’ strengths over correcting their weaknesses. So maybe it’s worth a try transplanting that to working in ministry teams. Some of what he had to say, however, came off as kinda cheesy management psycho-babble. So, I think the best approach for this entry is to outline what he said and throw in my $0.02 (italicized) under each bullet point.
