“What’s Good About That?” by Dan Hotchkiss
As an advocate for asset-based leadership, I found the article by Dan Hotchkiss helpful. As a pastor I believed in building on congregational strengths. But was I asking the right questions? The questions I might find myself asking: What’s working? What’s satisfying? What’s going well? But was I asking the right questions? I like the framework of the the question that Hotchkiss asks: “What influence would we like our faith to have in the community today, and how can we gather a community of leaders who can make that happen?” I encourage you to read the Alban Institute article: http://www.congregationalconsulting.org/whats-good-about-that/
