Tuesdays with Tom (Part 2)

Over the past several Tuesday mornings, Tom Kilgore, who recently retired from his position as Chief Executive Office of the Tennessee Valley Authority, has conducted leadership training with our church staff. Being a member of our church, Tom is a widely respected leader in the energy industry, throughout the Southeast, as well as at Sevier Heights where he serves in a variety of roles including that of Bible Fellowship Group leader.

Combining Biblical knowledge with leadership and business principles, Tom is helping us improve how we serve, lead and conduct ministry.  Here is some of what he's shared:

In an organization, all vectors must be aligned, otherwise there is wasted energy.

Every problem we have is an opportunity for God's power to show itself.

Enthusiasm is at the bottom of all progress- Henry Ford

It's better to remember a few things than to hear a lot of things.

Cooperation is not the goal. Collaboration is the goal.
