Transitions: Twitter in New Ministry
May 30, 2012
As I transition to Senior Pastor at Hagan and Union United Methodist Churches I am re-evaluating how to do some things I regularly practiced as a youth director. For one twitter was one of the main ways to communicate. I imagine I will be still tweeting regularly, but the urgency of tweeting will be probably decline as a primary way of communication as well as move down my priority list. This twitter info-graphic I saw on Orange Leaders blog helped shed some light. Mainly, my main demographic (rural) is not really on twitter. Does this help you consider ways to manage your tweeting?

I recently finished 21 Indispensable Qualities of a Leader by John Maxwell. Anything Maxwell writes is awesome and motivating. Here are three reasons I recommend you read it.
- It is WAY shorter than 21 Laws of Leadership. It covers the same concepts but it a shorter read. I would read it with my devotional time in the morning.
- The examples from history. In almost every quality discussed Maxwell uses ordinary people who did extraordinary things. I appreciate it is not just leadership theory.
- It makes you better. Even if you never change it will allow you to learn about yourself and qualities you can improve upon.
Have you read it or anything else by Maxwell? Let me know what you think.
