No Crying or Holding Hands “Manliness is Next to Godliness” was the page one article in the Los Angeles Times, Dec. 7, 2006. A Christian men’s movement leader complained about the “wuss-ification of America.” The group is GodMen and they believe “that being a guy is a reason to be proud, not a problem to be fixed.” At GodMen conferences, they promise guys will “have fun and enjoy some great music, without being required to cry or hold another man's hand.” Women readers may want to buy this as a Christmas gift for their favorite men, but I’m pretty sure 1 Thessalonians 2:7-12 (Jenson’s key text) was written for women also.

Insights from the Management Buckets Workshop Experience It’s budget time for many organizations. Peter Drucker said that “innovation means, first, the systematic sloughing off of yesterday” and focusing on “purposeful abandonment.” It’s a great budget exercise and an excellent management team discipline. Behind closed doors, ask your managers to trim 20 percent of their programs and staff—on paper only, for now. Unless you ruthlessly cut fat, excess programs and sacred cows, you’ll wind up with a bloated bureaucracy and ineffective results and outcomes. It’s the difference between leverage and lethargy. . John 15:2 (NIV) says, “He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful.”. Search the Drucker Archives here. In our Management Buckets Workshop Experience, we focus on The Budget Bucket in non-technical terms to help leaders focus on results and outcomes. The Budget Bucket is one of 20 Critical Competencies Required for Leading and Managing Today’s Nonprofit Organization.
