Business Blind Spots: Your customers’ insights ...

The fastest way to lose sight of your business is to stop listening to your customers. What you think is happening inside your company and what your customers are actually experiencing might be two completely different stories. Too often, leaders rely on assumptions instead of real feedback—and that gap can cost you growth, loyalty, and trust.

In this post, Convene Chair Mike Edwards shares how to check in with your customers in meaningful, non-intrusive ways—and how to turn their insights into quick, high-impact improvements.

Yet, scaling a business and adhering to Christian values are not mutually exclusive. In fact, by integrating biblical wisdom with sound business practices, Christian leaders can unlock a path to sustainable growth that aligns with their faith and honors God's purpose for their endeavors.

Leadership Lessons from Jesus’ Example

What if God was one of us?

Convene Chair Andy Beal recently shared a powerful reflection on leadership, inspired by The Jesus I Never Knew by Philip Yancey.

When we think about Jesus, we don’t see power and prestige—we see humility, approachability, and courage. Isn’t that the kind of leader we all want to follow?

As leaders, we must ask: Are we leading with these same godly qualities, or are we relying on power and position?

Great leadership starts with character worth following.

The deceptively simple formula, (Earnings - Cost) ÷ Cost, defines a flexible indicator that leaders regularly use to assess multiple aspects of their business such as overall profitability, marketing effectiveness, pricing suitability, and profit on inventory. It is also frequently used with scenario analysis to choose between multiple options and understand whether it makes financial sense to make investments in new properties, plants, or equipment.
