A Sanctifying Punch Between the Eyes

by Michael Mckinley

A while back, Justin Taylor posted links to two Ken Sande articles on leadership.

You can find them here. (Link fixed)

The first one dealt with approachability.  The second dealt with accountability.

This is the kind of thing you don't want to read unless you like being given a sanctifying punch in between the eyes with the truth about yourself.  I gave these to my wife and then sent the articles and a form of the suggested email to several people in our church (leaders, involved members, less-involved members) and asked for feedback.  It was very, very helpful (but not always easy) to see how other people see me as a leader.  

You may want to try it.  What have you to lose except your faults?

I appreciate one punch to the face, could have another?

Mike, could you check that approachability link, it seems to be broken. Thanks for the challenges!

Hey Ben,

Thanks... the links should be working now.
