Getting Along With Your Boss

So Marty Schottenheimer was fired from the Chargers because, basically, he couldn't get along with AJ Smith.
And Marty is a good coach. He's turned around 4 franchises. Just never really got it done in the playoffs (5-13 in playoffs).
He finished the season with a 14-2 record. The last coach to get fired after a 14 win season was in the 20's. (how do i know that? i don't know).

But today as i was coming home from church, i was listening to ESPN radio and they were talking about no matter how good you're at your job, it doesn't really matter if you cannot get along with your boss, which is why Marty got fired.

I keep forgetting how much humility is needed to be working at church (and of course elsewhere).
I personally feel that i do not need to completely like the people i work with. when there's that many people involved, it's expected that i won't like everyone. but it's imperative that i respect them and love them, and find ways to mutually exist. and that requires tremendous amount of humility.

Looking back, so many problems in the churches i've been involved in could've been resolved with a little humility.

At this church, my relationship with the senior pastor (my boss) is ... weird. It's not bad. I just don't think there's that much relationship there. It's hard working with 1st Generation Koreans. Basically, i feel like the senior pastor has given me freedom to do whatever i think is necessary until i screw up.
While i like that freedom, i don't think it's the healthiest way to do ministry.
And i wouldn't be surprised if other Korean church youth pastors feel that way.

I just realized i could go on a whole different tangent on the relationship between first generation koreans and the second generation. but i'll save that for later.

Tomorrow is Valentine's Day. I have to be at church. So the wife and i are celebrating today.
