Everyone wins when a leader gets better.
You have never looked in the eyes of someone who does not matter to God.
The only way to motivate people is to live a motivated life in front of them.
Nothing that matters in this world happens unless leaders lead it.
To be developed as a leader, failure must be allowed. Failure only helps us improve.
Leadership requires a non-stop demand of fortitude from Day 1 to the end.
The grander the vision the greater the price tag.
Every single decision you make as a leader has an effect on the spirit of those you lead.
It’s incredible to realize that what we do each day has meaning in the big picture of God’s plan.
You can live and lead small, live and lead safe, live and lead selfishly, or you can pursue a grander vision.
There is nothing like the local church when the local church is working right.
One of the greatest thrills in all of life is to feel the hand of God working through you and to be a part of the working reality of the church engaged in a movement larger than self.
Most people feel best about themselves when they have given their very best.
Visionary people face the same problems everyone else faces; but rather than get paralyzed by their problems, visionaries immediately commit themselves to finding a solution.
Leadership is not for the faint of heart.
Great leadership is by definition relentlessly developmental.
The mark of community is not the absence of conflict. It’s the presence of a reconciling spirit.
God delights in pouring his favor on obedient risk takers.
Destructive fear must be stopped in its tracks or it will undermine the life God invites us to live.
A leader’s most valuable asset is not their time but their energy and ability to energize others.
