Do others need to fail so you can succeed? I think most of us would instinctively say "no, of course not!" But do we live like it is true? Do we want our "competitors" to succeed? Maybe a little, but lets not get carried away.
In leadership, a common trap that we can fall into is a scarcity mindset, where we fear there is only so much resources and market share to go around. This even bleeds over into church/kingdom work as we think others need to go backwards for us to go forward.
In this episode, Alan has a conversation with author Chris Horst about collaborating for the sake of greater impact. Chris works for Hope International and he and his co-author noticed the tendency for organizations and leaders to isolate and compete. Chris went on a journey to explore the challenges and benefits of working together for greater impact and he shares the beauty and real stories of organizations around the world learning that we are better together.
