#OC12-Andy Stanley at Orange

On Friday morning at Orange, Andy Stanley gave a great talk on staff culture.  Here are some notes from his message:

"Healthy and productive staff cultures occur by mutual submission."

• The Message of Mutual Submission is "I'm here to facilitate your success regardless of where you show up on the organization chart.
• The Assumption of Mutual Submission is "While our responsibilities differ, we are both essential to the success of the enterprise.
• The Question of Mutual Submission is "How can I help?"

"Only one with a special anointing is Jesus."

He shared the following best practices:

1. Do for one what you wish you could do for everyone.
2. Systematize top-down service.
3. Create and maintain a sustainable pace.
4. Celebrate and reward mutual submission when you see it.
5. Confront your ego.
6. Drop the term loyalty from your vocabulary.

Starting point for these best practices is the question, "How can I help?"
