Contextual Intelligence
Contextual Intelligence: How Thinking in 3D Can Help Resolve Complexity, Uncertainty, and Ambiguity. In this book, I present a structured framework for decision-making and leadership in turbulent environments. At the center is my Three-Dimensional (3D) Thinking Framework™—hindsight, insight, and foresight—designed to help you navigate complexity without getting swallowed by it.
I show you how contextual intelligence equips you to respond to rapid change in both organizational and personal settings. My 3D Thinking Framework™ and R4 Process™ (recognize, reorder, respond, reflect) help you integrate what the past has taught you, what the present is quietly revealing, and what the future is asking you to become—so your problem-solving is grounded, clear, and intentional.
Along the way, I simplify concepts that often feel abstract—like VUCA (volatility, uncertainty, complexity, ambiguity), synchronicity, and tacit knowledge—into practical, usable insights. In this updated edition, I’ve expanded the content, added more real-world examples, and included new chapters on the behaviors tied to contextual intelligence—so you can strengthen 3D thinking as a daily leadership practice, not just an idea you admire.

Leadership Questions for Health Care Professionals
In Leadership Questions for Health Care Professionals, I tackle the questions clinicians actually ask—so leadership becomes a conversation, not a buzzword. Each response blends best-available evidence with practical solutions, followed by discussion prompts that sharpen critical thinking and help you reframe your real-world leadership moments.
They Were Sent
I wrote this book to uncover how God actually forms leaders—through the Old Testament—not the way modern leadership programs often do. I argue the church must cultivate apostolic thinking: leaders forged in local service with the end goal of being sent as ambassadors into a hostile, volatile world. The world doesn’t just need better leaders—it needs leaders trained in the trenches, ready for mission.
