Dale Luddeke is a man of faith who infuses his leadership philosophy and practice with Christian love and respect. He doesn't preach or proselytize. That's not his job. His job is to lead business development and he does that in a business-like way. But he lives his faith in how he interacts with others to do his job, and that creates a unique meaning of getting on the same page. Here are a few ahh-ha! moments I had talking to my friend and colleague:
3:03 - If you're thinking that you need to be on the same page all the time, you're not looking at it in the right way
6:15 - People feel an incessant need to always be right and always be relevant - and it puts our defense mechanisms up
6:51 - Engaging with humility and grace gives others room to be themselves, and abates fear of the unknown
18:42 - I say we're on our own pages and our job is to create same pages if we're to get on them. Dale says same pages exist to get on, and our job is to discover them.
26:55 - What do you do when someone's behavior harms a team effort? Dale says there's more to learn before you move them out.
43:31 - Embracing complexity as beautiful, and coming together in diversity
