Quotebook: Radical Change Is Logical

Mark Howell — Fri, 04 Nov 2011 12:00:25 +0000

Robert Riney, COO of Henry Ford Health System on the need for innovation and change in the hospital industry:

“It’s not radical to ‘go radical.’ It’s logical to go radical. How can you look at the situation in our industry and say the answer is to make incremental change?” (p. 80, Practically Radical)

Good stuff Alan!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Hope you have a great day today! As we get ready for our Thanksgiving dinner, we’ve got so much to be thankful for. A God who loves us enough to provide a costly salvation. Family and friends who love us. A great job at a great church that really matches my passion to reach people for Christ. The joy and challenge of working with a senior pastor who’s willing to take the risks I want to take. The life-change stories we’ve heard on the heels of launching over 200 new groups. An ongoing opportunity to help churches everywhere learn how to launch, build and sustain small group ministry.

Life is good today.

And I’m so thankful for it! Thank you God for everything!

P.S. The Greenberg smoked turkey with cornbread dressing will help make today even better! And can’t forget the cranberry relish or the candied yams or the green bean casserole. And the pecan and pumpkin pies will be pretty nice, too. Mmmmm. I’m already hungry!

Doing a little remodeling this afternoon (and maybe into the night). Don’t mind the mess. We’ll be back in force tomorrow.
