The Leadership Triangle

Most leaders have only one tool in their toolbox. If it’s a hammer, everything looks like a nail. They pound and pound, but nothing changes. In the end, their solution becomes the problem.

This week, I’m introducing The Leadership Triangle to a group of senior pastors, executive pastors, non-profit leaders, and academic leaders at the PLI Senior Leaders Forum (formerly, Pastor Leadership Institute).

In The Leadership Triangle, I introduce the idea that there are three different types of challenges – tactical, strategic, and transformational. Before deciding what tool to use, we first have to know what kind of challenge we are facing.

If you’d like me to discuss The Leadership Triangle with your organization, please send us an e-mail. You can also find my book, “The Leadership Triangle,” on Amazon.
