Lasting Lessons from General Colin Powell

Gen. Colin Powell once published his "18 Leadership Secrets." 

Friends, there are 3 of them I'd like you to remember:

#3. "Don't be buffaloed by experts and elites. Experts often possess more data than judgments."

#4. "Don't be afraid to challenge the pros, even in their own backyard."

#11. "Fit no stereotypes."

I love it!

Don't blindly follow the latest fad in biblical scholarship. Scholarship requires you to have your own convictions. Learn from the pros, but even pros can plateau in terms of their learning. So think for yourself.

Genuine scholarship is alway vigilant!
