What if he always took his phone to bed with him, put in on the dinner table, took it on the bus, to the park, to the mall, and even right in the bathroom stall? What if he is always living in the virtual world, and is so disconnected in the real world?

Real life ministry is complicated—far more complicated than is typically captured in leadership books. There are moving parts and people who require adept, agile, adaptive leadership. Unlike technical challenges with a clear or known solution, adaptive challenges are complex and dynamic, requiring creative leaderships. Adaptive leadership is art, not science. It is an exercise in wisdom, not just knowledge. It requires leaders to ascertain the issues, values, and stakes unique to a given situation, to consider the potential courses of action, and decide which courses are best.
