“When Paul talks about singleness and marriage as gifts, he’s not referring to a state that God has awarded us for life, but without actually having the decency to tell us. He’s simply referring to both marriage (and specifically the expression of sexuality within marriage) and singleness (specifically the freedom from unconquerable sexual temptation as a single person) as gifts conferred by God. They go with the turf, not with the individual.”

“It is entirely proper for senior leaders to say, in effect, “This is the mountain we will climb. Not that one, this one. Although many aspects of our collective endeavor are open for discussion, choice of mountain is not among them.” And those who lead teams within an organization have a responsibility that extends far beyond merely accepting the direction set by more senior organizational leaders.”

“Leadership involves moving a system from where it is now to some other, better place. It means that one often is at the margins of what people presently like and want, working close to the edge of what is acceptable rather than at the center of the collective consensus.”
