Let's Not Forget What We Remember
Sometimes I have certain realizations that I imagine are common for people to have. It's what I'd compare to meditation or a form of it. All day and time I'm always gathering information and putting it in, storing it, forgetting about it. Then all of a sudden some image, story, book, ect brings it back out in a new form, combined with other ideas that were stored away, but all of a sudden they've connected and the new form makes all too perfect sense.
So instead of keeping this realization to myself, I'm going to write it so I don't forget, and maybe if I do anyway, someone else will see it and put it to good use.
Building the perfect team, group, or organization doesn't always require the best teaching and guiding abilities of the person in charge. Sure it's important to be able to convey important ideas and to understand what and how some job can get done best ... but there are too many ways to go about something, and a good person will learn how on their own with the right guide or help. Instead, the main job or maybe mission of the head is too recruit. Without bodies there can be no team, and with only a few, the team is limited to the few who signed up. But when there are more people than neccessary, the group can be tailored and built from the very best. There can be cuts, decisions, time for development, and promotions. Give me bodies and I will form the team from the willing and able. So I think it is the head's job to recruit and build. There is of course management and other duties, but building is the most important element. I could dream up great lessons and stories, but if I don't have the right people to hear them, they'll all be useless and mostly go unheard.
I think that's important. Fill your temple, then preach in it. Until then, figure out how to fill your temple by leaving it behind.
