Good Reading: Mission & Organization

Each of these are secular offerings with huge kingdom implications. 'Starfish' is a must read - it screams of kingdom activity.

On Mission:
The Starfish and the Spider: The Unstoppable Power of Leaderless Organizations
The Starfish and the Spider: The Unstoppable Power of Leaderless Organizations by Ori Brafman and Rod Beckstrom. The power of decentralized organizations. Preach it!

Ten Rules for Strategic Innovators: From Idea to Execution
Ten Rules for Strategic Innovators: From Idea to Execution by Vijay Govindarajan and Chris Trimble. If you are leading major change in an organization - this is a must read. I wish I had it 5 years ago!


Comanches: The History of a People
Comanches: The History of a People by T.R. Fehrenbach. The Comanches were a decentralized power that held Western advances at bay for hundreds of years. In 'Starfish' Ori and company highlight the Apache a massive movable unstoppable force . . . but it was the Comanche that took out the Apache. A very intriguing read with tons of missional implications (and bloody unpleasent historical realities as well).
