Crisis Management: If missionaries get into serious trouble, I coordinate RG efforts to help them. [Read more about Crisis Management from this previous blog entry.]
What makes you a good boss or leader?
I'd like to think that I can lead well under pressure, and I enjoy helping my teammates to succeed at what God has called them to do.
What do you want to/need to work on as a boss or leader?
I'd like to be a better encourager.
What has God been teaching you lately about being a leader?
To be a better student of those you lead, and to deal with "relational stuff" faster.

The hope I feel in seeing a new generation of leaders arising to serve the Lord.
