Editor's Notes
#7 This framework comes out of the most comprehensive research done on faith and teenagers (completed in August 2005 in the USA), details at http://www.youthandreligion.org.
#8 When molding a collection of individuals into a team, a leader should endeavor to promote an environment of mutual care and concern. An illustration from an elementary school classroom explains this concept better than I could ever hope to do.
#11 "Only secure leaders give power to others." If a leader doesn't know his own strengths/weaknesses, he will not hand off responsibilities to his team. If a leader doesn't know his team's strengths/weaknesses, he cannot hand off responsibilities to his team.
#17 Leaders have the duty of identifying and removing landmines before they wreak destruction..
#21 “A BHAG engages people – it reaches out and grabs them in the gut. It is tangible, energizing, highly focused. People ‘get it’ right away; it takes little or no explanation.”
