Leadership By Numbers :: Happy Birthday Bonhoeffer

Knowledge is not power, but learning is. As kids, we made art with paint-by-number kits. Simply matching the outline numbers with an oil paint gave us the illusion of mastery. I've worked in all facets of the IT industry: as IT management, as a consultant, systems administrator, developer and instructor. And, I still see a lot of paint-by-number projects which try to be the real thing. IT leadership is about reading the numbers, then going outside the lines and taking risks.

Happy Birthday Bonhoeffer

Category Diversions

100 years ago, Saturday, Dietrich Bonhoeffer was born in Germany. Even in our jaded, post-modern world, there are still heros.

3 - Bonhoeffer is a really intriguing guy. I studied about him some back in 1999/2000. "The Cost of Discipleship" is a really great book. This past weekend, in my Christian History email from ChristianityToday.com, they had an article on him.

2 - Thanks, Gerco, he seems to be widely admired across all denominations, which is unusual in itself. His Amazon.com Sales Rank for "The Cost of Discipleship" is at #1,025. Amazing, for someone who was executed in Nazi Germany one day before Allied occupation. I studied him in some detail, and I still find him to be a stirring resource.
