One of my favorite blogs is the leadership blogspot . It’s a collection of interviews with a variety of leaders. I did an interview with Josh Sargeant a week ago and it’s posted on today’s blog, September 12.

Josh asks some great questions: Who was the biggest influence on your life? Where do you see yourself in ten years? What books have impacted you?

Here’s one of the questions.

Q: What is your biggest pet peeve as a leader?

A: Naysayers.

I’ve learned that every church has a bell curve. There are innovators and adopters who embrace change. But there are also laggards and resisters. I don’t love laggards and resisters any less. But sometimes I want to show them a picture of Neil Armstrong getting out of the lunar module and stepping onto the moon. We put a man on the moon. Naysay no more!

The entire interview is posted at the leadership blogspot.
