Seminar With Barna, Osborne, and Slaughter

This morn­ing Paula and I went to a simul­cast spon­sored by CCN about Inno­va­tion and Risk-Tak­ing in Lead­er­ship.

The pre­sen­ters were George Bar­na, Lar­ry Osborne, and Mike Slaugh­ter.

It was pret­ty good. Two slight­ly humor­ous sound­bytes stuck with me:

Lar­ry: So what if peo­ple think I’m a fail­ure? I’ve been one before!”

George: Yeah. You got­ta run with your strengths, right?

and then anoth­er com­ment by Mike Slaugh­ter: We have all these eth­i­cal prob­lems with cloning peo­ple, but we seem to have no prob­lem with cloning church­es.

Those both seemed very fun­ny to me at the time… look­ing at them in print I think the first one in par­tic­u­lar needs tone of voice to make it sound right.
