I never imagined that a blog that I wrote two days ago would create the number of page views that it has. Multipliers and Diminishers has had 566 page views since Monday. Since it has been posted and re-posted on Facebook multiple times, who knows how many times this blog has been read. This is a new record for me in the three and a half years I have been writing this blog.
From the beginning, the purpose for this blog was clearly labeled on the masthead, I have never consistently written down or recorded some of the key encounters and events in my life. This blog is attempting to do that in a way that is meaningful to anyone who reads my writing. That is exactly what I did as I wrote about one of the highlight times in my career on the staff of a large church in Oregon, with a wonderful senior pastor. It is also what I did as I wrote about the worst church leadership experience I have ever had. My experiences, no more, no less. While I initially allowed all comments to stay on this blog page, the quality of some of the comments, coupled with emotional outbursts that were clearly off the point, helped me make the decision to not allow any comments, even though most of the comments were positive.
If you are interested in knowing more about the idea of Multipliers and Diminishers, please read the book Multipliers by Liz Wiseman. It will help you make your own decisions about leaders that you are giving your allegiance to.
