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.
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.
If your life is rushing in many directions at once, you are incapable of the kind of deep, unhurried prayer that is vital to the Christian walk.
You cannot do leadership without a source of regenerative strength. What is your source?
Leaders have to figure it out when there is no road map.
You can never underestimate the amount of energy and frequency you must give to vision casting. You can never underestimate it.
When you get to the end will God say, "Well done," or, "What was up with that?"
Enjoy every single day you get to lead because it will be over in a blink.
If you're a serious minded leader, you will read. You will read all you can.
Don't steamroll your way into a conversation before establishing any relational credibility.
Leadership grit begets grit. Lead by example.
We all have strengths, weaknesses and blind spots. In fact, an average person has 3.4 blind spots.
