What Can Business Leaders Teach Us About Christian Brotherhood? CQ Podcast Highlights

Rick :
Yeah. Yeah, he is. Jonathan, a quick story from early in my business career. I work in a business where there are different groups, you know, within, that overlap in their territories and so forth. And in this experience, there are two different groups. I was part of one of them and they didn't get along. They did things differently and there was a lot of friction. So there was this meeting called by the higher-ups to bring these two warring factions, if you will, together. And in the morning session there was a lot of name-calling and pointing a finger. Now I didn't do any of that because that's just not my style, but I'm watching this and it's not looking good. So the gentleman that brought this meeting together came to be lunchtime and he said, okay, lunchtime, we have an hour.

Rick :
And he appointed certain individuals who go to lunch together. And he appointed the most loud and critical individual from one side to go to lunch with the most loud and critical individual from the other. And he made these pairings and said, go to lunch and just talk to each other. Just talk to each other. And in the afternoon session it was entirely different because they all got to know each other and realized, hey wait, we work for the same company and we can do better than this. And it was such wisdom and the point was they were made to talk to one another and it really stuck with me. And this is many, many, many, many, many years ago. So if people in the world can do that, Christians certainly should be able to do that.

Jonathan :
Absolutely.
