Collaboration can easily be underdone. It can also be overdone. I know I am a well-intentioned collaborative leader who is guilty of doing both.
I enjoy unhurried conversations where joys, hopes, dreams, and fears bubble to the surface of our often too-busy lives. As a pastor and frequent speaker on faith, work, and economics, I not only really like a bold cup of coffee but enjoy catching up with congregational members at a favorite coffee shop.
