Why do we get distracted?
When the team doesn’t know, doesn’t understand, or doesn’t agree with the vision of your organization there will be distraction. Why? Because they are not motivated by the same vision you have.

My friend, and fellow worrier, Chris and his new website assistant Janine from North Shore Church sat down for several hours today so they could learn how to use their new website. He went home and posted his first blog entry already tonight. I’m impressed.

… but because of their attitude about service.
