“Number 1, hands down was insecurity and fear. The insecurity I didn’t have the value to offer and the fear that God wasn’t going to provide everything we needed.

Other Quotes From the Chat with Scott Beebe:
- “Glocal – whatever we do locally, we do globally, and whatever we do globally, we do locally”
- “If you’re not aware of the culture that is in place from the outset, then things are not going to go well for you”
- “A fractured culture usually comes because there’s not a clear articulation of vision”
- “Vision is like a boat anchor”
- “They asked Tom, I believe it’s Tom Crosby, ‘what happens if you spend all this time and money on training people and they leave’, and he said ’well we see it the other way round, what if we don’t and they stay’”
- “Spend some time on the ground packing your parachute, learn about it, pack it well, and repack it. Then get in the plane, have a clear jump spot, know the map and the plan. Then take off, ride up the plane, get comfortable, used to the atmosphere. Then jump once your contingencies are in place”
- “Once you’ve mapped out a vision of the future then you can begin to build a strategic plan. That’s packing your parachute, then get on the plane and you can go and jump”
- “It’s not the technical prowess of the plan; it’s really about the implementation”
- “Once you’ve articulated your culture you have to have a place where you can communicate it on a weekly basis. The weekly meeting if run effectively on a tight agenda with cell phones not allowed gives an opportunity to circle back on the vision, mission and values every week. That’ll keep it top of mind, and you’ll start creating culture that way”
