Thanks for the compliment! And I was just messin’ with you! (How do you humbly say you are profiled in a leadership book? So I teased that you wrote about my weaknesses as well as my strengths.) I really appreciated being in your book, and learned a LOT about myself from your “drama coach” description of my style. After reading your book I FINALLY understood my own style of leadership! Just last night in a meeting with the leadership at my new church were I am now a volunteer under the CM director, I referred to your book when I was asked how I function working under someone who is less skilled, experienced and educated than I am – and I pointed to your book as proof that I thrive in that role! I prefer to be in that role! That the drama coach is the leader who has the talent to be the star of the show but is more content and fulfilled when he can coach someone else to be the star of the show and watch from the side stage and hear their student get the applause and have no one know their role. That is what Kidology.org is all about. I’m am happiest when others succeed as a result of my hard work. I comfortable in the spotlight, but its not were I prefer to be. I prefer to help others shine. Thanks for helping me understand how God designed me. It has shaped Kidology and my leadership.

I protest, Karl. I think i exposed a hidden strength of yours! I walked away from that interview and worked on rebuilding my coaching-style.

Hi Pastor Karl,
Great list, I am soooo glad that I’ve read most of the books (ordering “Running on Empty”- oh yeah), regularly visit all of the websites, and hope to attend at least ONE of those conferences! Thanks for sharing!
