Building A Network

September 8, 2012

When building a network, it is important to have a balanced approach between management and leadership. It is not that one is exclusive to the other. Both dimensions are required to birth, build and broaden a vital, sustainable network. The following is for your consideration:

The manager administers; the leader innovates.
· The manager is a copy; the leader is an original.
· The manager maintains; the leader develops.
· The manager focuses on systems and structures; the leader focuses on people.
· The manager relies on control; the leader inspires trust.
· The manager has a short-range view; the leader has a long-range view.
· The manager asks how and when; the leader asks what and why.
· The manager has his eye on the bottom line; the leader has his eye on the horizon.
· The manager imitates; the leader originates.
· The manager accepts the status quo; the leader challenges and changes it.
· The manager is the classic good soldier; the leader is his own person.
· The manager does things right; the leader does the right things.

From the first time I met James Davis, I was raptured with the vision of more than one billion souls coming to Christ in my lifetime. We are honored to partner with him and his excellent team.

It a thrill to serve with James Davis on this global team, believing the Lord to plant churches where there have never been any churches before and to see souls saved where no souls have been saved before.

I have been a part of this global network since it was first announced by James Davis to more than 5,000 leaders. I am thrilled to know now that pastors in more than 140 nations are partnering together.

We are committed to the Second Billion Network and to seeing untold millions come to Christ in our lifetime. I deeply appreciate James Davis’ servant leadership and his vision for the Body of Christ.
