what questions are you leading by?

Brenda Salter-McNeil, in her workshop at CCDA, spent a good portion of the time finding out what the most pressing questions are in the audience around the topic of multi-racial churches.

She then went on to say that her organization has been studying a model of change called the S curve. She said that at the bottom of the S curve, where it's most chaotic...where people are groping in the dark...where there's no structure and people are asking, "Lord, show me what you're doing and what we should do next."....That's the place where the most questions are being asked and the most innovation is going on.

Salter-McNeil stated, "Where innovation stops in organizations is when we stop leading by questions and start leading by answers. Where questions are the driving force, innovation is happening."

What questions are keeping you up at night these days?
