An interesting post came through my RSS Reader today from Church Relevance about learning from our mistakes as a leader. I like point number 2: Be a custom leader. Basically, not everyone relates the same way and we can’t expect to deal with all of our leaders or co-workers the same way. I’ve often thought that it would be great to have something like the five love languages for the work environment.
A refreshing blend of nerd and cool.

I’m glad you liked the post Jason. Books like Chapman’s Five Love Languages helped encourage me as a leader to better understand my volunteers.
Two other books I would recommend are:

and

Thanks for the suggestions!
(In other news, I had my first run-in with Askimet mis-identifying a comment as spam. But it got 3 others right, so that’s good I guess.)
