the last 10% or 2%

In Church Leadership, Devotional on February 20, 2008 at 1:27 am

One of the keys of leadership and relationship is being able to say the LAST 10% or some say the last 2% even. What’s that? It is the fact that we always stop talking about a problem at 90-98% of the conversation while AVOIDING the real issue or heart of the problem. I first heard this discussed @ Willow…

I love being around people who say the last 10% without being asked. It is extremely healthy and will promote extreme growth in any organization or relationship due to the nature of getting down to the heart of the problem.

After all, the heart of the problem is the problem, and you will never solve anything until it is unearthed. You will just cover it up again until the other 90% backs up again.

We had a great “last 10% meeting” with our executive team today. How refreshing that we have an amazing team where this can be encouraged. We moved the ministry forward by MONTHS, maybe YEARS by this practice.

“…You will know the truth and the truth shall set you free.” –Jesus in John 8.32

blessings and peace!
