As with all books I read, I always hope for an easy answer to a complex problem, same as when I google for a health remedy (omega 3 antioxidants will cure all my problems!) It&#8217;s no surprise when the book doesn&#8217;t give an easy solution. But I was not disappointed with this book because it does give good insights of what I would run up against when trying to curate a culture different than the current culture. There are some ideas I haven&#8217;t thought of or needed to be reminded of.<\/p>\n<p>My takeaways:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>leadership pipeline is a long-term investment in people, not delegate a task<\/li>\n<li>people must multiply themselves at their current leadership level<\/li>\n<li>there has to be core competencies and responsibilities for each level of the leadership pipeline ie all must be learners, be able to handle conflict, etc. in addition to role-based skills<\/li>\n<li>there must be a training pathway for the person to develop<\/li>\n<li>create an environment that builds biblical community during training<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The book is a simple introduction with the intent of upselling you to a conference. I don&#8217;t mind that, that&#8217;s usually what free ebooks do.
