A leader will do 2 things
1) stick to their core values while
2) incorporating new methods.
Jesus was a world changer. He brought more change than anyone else in history. And as a result He was challenged at every turn. But He met each challenge with a thought out response!
Change takes energy!
Change requires 4 things:

5. When it violates the core values of the organization.
6. When other methods would produce greater results.
7. When you have fully counted the cost of change.
