Reverend Tim Yee is pastor of Union Church of Los Angeles, a 99-year-old church in downtown L.A.’s Little Tokyo District where he serves a diverse church of professionals, internment camp survivors, artists, and people who are homeless. He serves on the board of Union Rescue Mission, helps start urban farms, and coaches others in missional leadership.
After six years as pastor of Union Church, I have found that leadership means constantly disappointing people. One of the most irritating but accurate truths about leadership comes from Ronald Heifetz and Marty Linsky’s “Leadership on the Line”.
