“Multiple working models.” This has always been our value at Leadership Network.
There is no “one way” to get something done, but multiple paths to accomplish the task. Throughout our history we have always stressed that leaders working in different places and contexts often create different ways of getting their goals accomplished. When we are asked: “What is the best way?” We respond: “We don’t know. But here are three ways that are working.”
That’s why we hate the term “Best Practice.” We would rather see lots of good practices that are working for different contexts and celebrate all of them.
So in our Lab sessions during the Innovation3 Gathering, you will see multiple speakers with different models. Sure they are all trying to get the same thing accomplished, but they are doing it in different ways.
And of course, because they are leaders, they will be trying to convince you that their way is the best way. But the next leader will do the same.
“Doesn’t this just confuse people?” we often get asked. It only does if people come wanting a cookbook approach to ministry. And that is not what we are about.
We are about pointing folks to working models and letting them take what they can use and then leaving the rest behind.
Innovation3 Gathering starts in just 1 week! Hope to see you there!
