leadership team-building influence
A leader who produces other leaders multiples their influences.
past vision church
When the pastor and his or her church have a vision, they will put their energy, time, money, and personnel into achieving it.
leadership failing
Fail early, fail often, but always fail forward.
dream giving-up two
When your dream is bigger than you are, you only have two choices: give up or get help.
leadership motivation persistence
Not realizing what you want is a problem of knowledge. Not pursuing what you want is a problem of motivation. Not achieving what you want is a problem of persistence.
believe eye giving
The best gift you can ever give your mentor is to grow. They feed off your growth. I believe that everyone has the seed of success inside, but too many people can't find it in themselves and as a result do not reach their potential. But there are those whose purpose in life is to fertilize the seed of potential in another, who are rewarded by seeing that person grow and blossom before their eyes. Raising up others to a higher level is a mentor's joy and sustenance.
community vision church
Without a vision our community will perish without Christ, but without a vision the church will perish as well.
communication skills decision
Relational skills are the most important abilities in leadership.
leadership growth spirit
Life doesn't do anything to you. It only reveals your spirit.
teamwork winning way
The best way to serve the individuals on the team is to see that the whole team wins.
mistake failure two
Generally speaking, there are two kinds of learning: experience, which is gained from your own mistakes, and wisdom, which is learned from the mistakes of others.
giving vision church
In my leadership conferences, pastors ask, "Do you have a vision for my church?" Many times they want me to give them a picture of where they should go and what their church should look like. When these pastors do this, I always feel bad.
attitude creating color
Your attitude is like the minds paintbrush. It can paint everything in bright, vibrant colors-creating a masterspiece.
believe people victory
To help people believe they can achieve victory, put them in a position to experience small successes.
