Too bad some of the Churches in our town did not have the opportunity to read your “Article”. It seems that the split in two churches, big churches for this community, has split families and friends for ever. Bring to the table early regardless of the taste. Great thoughts and a lot to chew on.

Spanos also waited until all the other NFL head coaching jobs were filled before lowering the boom.

Great thoughts and conversation about church leadership, hiring, etc.

Oh…and go…Jazz!

Clay – thanks.

Ray – you need a blog to talk about baseball. I love you anyway.

Mike – yes. And I so appreciate your sarcasm!! (btw – I’m still working on your email response – be patient with me! ha)

Byron – good thoughts. I’d gently respond with two thoughts…

1. With all things being equal between candidates – character and fit gives us the best chance to have hard conversations (like the one you described) without it blowing up.

2. I’d agree – you don’t short change competency. We’re not going to hire someone who can’t do the basics of the job. If somebody makes it through the search process and is in the ‘final round’ of candidates – I’m assuming that homework was done. (If it isn’t – that’s a process problem.)

However, once the person is hired, I do have a certain amount of responsibility to help train and sharpen the competencies we want on our team.

Oh…and Go Broncos!
