Leadership in church is one of the biggest challenges that the Church is facing because without strong leadership, the church rarely lives out its redemptive potentials.
Leaders need to have a ruthless commitment to resolving relational conflict regardless of how bad it feels.
People won't give their best unless their leader challenges them to do so.
Don't get so addicted to vision that the people feel like equipment
People join organizations, they leave managers.
God wants to father all of us until we're dead sure of his approval, his guiding power and his promise of heaven.
Vision is a picture of the future that produces passion.
Whenever you see something going well - whenever light begins to chase back the darkness that threatens to engulf our world - look closely. There stands a leader who is holding that candle.
It takes a great deal of courage to follow another person's lead.
The Church will never reach her full redemptive potential until men and women with the leadership gift step up and lead.
Build something with enduring value.
Self awareness allows you to self-correct.
Effective leaders do not fear passion. They welcome it. But from time to time passionate discussions digress into personal attacks, and real people get really hurt. In my view, leaders must head that off before it happens.
Coaching is the most important servant/leadership element in helping people accomplish their goals.
