@EricVolz I genuinely cannot believe that you are posting this after it has been communicated time over time by the AG, that this was NOT intended for any kind of distribution. They were horrified. Previously you said that your account is "official ELT communication" This is bad faith 10x

When leaders are formed in a toxic culture, they need an entirely new experience of leadership before they can create something new. I've seen this in biz, in non profits, and (especially) in church. What got us here won't be able to get us out. But it requires humility to see.

@EricVolz This just keeps getting worse. Genuinely believing this entire paragraph is somehow exculpatory to what @bozlawpa posted earlier is a reflection of a bubble that is in dire need of some outside air. There are leaders NOW in the ELT who KNOW those "five" are the real red herring.

@ihopkc Unfortunately, it's not just MB. It's the system he made & the men & women who implemented it. The damage is deep & long. A true third party investigation would help, and hopefully this attitude will persist when it becomes apparent that many leaders should get non ministry jobs

The problem for so many leaders is that we get caught so often in a defensive posture when we face perceived threats. And if we're not careful, we create even more damage by reacting instead of truly listening. #ihopkc
