I've mentioned on these forms before that when I do attend church I go to one of Andy Stanley's churches. He was recently the chaplain of the day at the Georgia House of Representatives. It's long (about 12.5 minutes of his speech - go to 2:08 to skip intro) but worth watching (IMO).

@Joe Bryant - I think you've made reference to knowing Stanley and having listened to him before. Thought you might enjoy this speech.

- Organizations are only as good as their leaders
- Disagreement is unavoidable but division is always a choice
- There's advantages to division (raise more money, fear is an asset, easy to demonize and mischaracterize the other side)
- Those of you who pander to and foster division - you are terrible leaders
- If you need an enemy in order to lead then you are a poor leader
- Just because somebody considers you their enemy doesn't mean you have to return the favor
- Fundamental Attribution Error - ascribing someone else's behavior as a character issue but ascribing their own behavior as circumstantial or environmental.
