As long as you get the job done, there isn’t going to be someone there to check up on you all the time…who cares if you’re in your desk, not getting your job done, if you could sleep in and get your job done…AMEN!
Brad’s freeshot:
dissipate the lines of faith. de-compartmentalize faith, and let it be your life.
Thoughts:
- Brad seems like a humble guy for running a $40 billion company
- People matter to Brad. Without his investment in people he’s nothing. Where’s my investment in people, and how will I take it to the next level..presumably through conversation, huh?
- Brad is in Minneapolis, perhaps he’d love to get involved in a ministry that seeks to transform lives in North Minneapolis.
- Leaders aren’t born, their leadership skills are uncovered.
