Trump – Elect | The End of Power | The Work Landscape

Last updated on: November 15, 2016 at 2:35 pm By Dr. Chip Roper

Another Angle on Trump Elect. By now you’ve had a week or so to digest the shock of the 2016 Presidential election. Some of you are grieving, some relieved. I am steering clear of commentary on the politics in this post and focusing on the election results as a marker of a shift in the way our culture works, a sea change that has profound implications for how you lead your team and navigate your career.

There is a clear career and business case for an ever-expanding networking—most positions are filled, most sales contacts are found, through networks of relationship. But there may be something else in play, and it has to do with the concept of neighbors. Being a Good Neighbor as Part of your Success Metric. Jesus summed up the human axis of relational expectation in one powerful idea: love your neighbor. A neighbor is anyone who is near. Being a neighbor is... Read more

The Work “Z:” An Ultimate End for our Careers

Last updated on: August 25, 2016 at 9:43 am By Dr. Chip Roper

The “Z” Meeting Many years ago, our church leadership team braved a snowstorm (6 inches or more) and held our regularly scheduled meeting. As is so often the case, we did not necessarily have a clear goal for the meeting. And so two thirds of the way into the conversation, snow piling up outside, one of our business guys asked, what’s the “Z” for this meeting. Then he schooled us by explaining that “Z” is the point, the end to... Read more

To What End? “What’s the point?” This is a question many of us ask about work. Politics, long hours, conflict with colleagues, financial stress, job insecurity, they all sap our sense of purpose. Yet even in the face of these very real challenges, Jesus offers us something more. The Kingdom Overlay Jesus primary message when he was on earth centered on the Kingdom of God.

Everybody has an agenda, what’s yours?

Last updated on: May 24, 2016 at 6:19 am By Dr. Chip Roper

Everybody Has an Agenda “She has an agenda.” This phrase gets whispered around offices everywhere as intense criticism. Yet everyone has an agenda (at least one). As my congressman told me at lunch one day on capital hill, everyone uses their office as a platform for something. The question is what is the something, is it worth it. Jesus And Your Ultimate Agenda. In Jesus most famous sermon (recorded in Matthew 5-7), he pitches the ultimate agenda, the... Read more

Hot Dogs, Work, and Your Church

Most of us are not sure of God’s purpose for our daily work, yet your local church can help connect the dots. I made the case at CP800, an event where I warmed up for John Maxwell at Redeemer Presbyterian’s Upper West Side Campus in NYC. In addition to setting up the problem, this talk includes 4 action items for church leaders and it’s less than 10 minutes long. (Video is below).

To Collaborate or Not to Collaborate; That Is the Question

Last updated on: May 22, 2016 at 7:24 pm By Dr. Chip Roper

There’s a lot of buzz about collaboration these days. Whether in industry or the social sector, it seems that “working together” is in vogue. Why collaborate? What counts as collaboration? How do we know when collaboration is the right play? I’ll answer those questions in this post.
