leadership organization impact
The single biggest way to impact an organization is to focus on leadership development. There is almost no limit to the potential of an organization that recruits good people, raises them up as leaders and continually develops them.
leader vision
Not everybody who has a vision is a leader, but every leader has a vision.
successful doe mood
The person who does only what he must when he is in the mood or when it's convenient isn't going to be successful.
leadership self-esteem differences
It is hard to feel bad about yourself when you are doing something good for someone else. There are a lot of ways to lift your self-esteem, but making a positive difference in another's life has got to be my best leadership guidance. Serving others and working to add value to them will lift your spirits in a way that nothing else will. Trust me on this one.
want used havens
I'm not where I'm supposed to be, I'm not what I want to be, But I'm not what I used to be. I haven't learned how to arrive; I've just learned how to keep going
inspirational success leadership
A great leader's courage to fulfill his vision comes from passion, not position.
numbers people leader
The measure of a leader is not the number of people who serve him, but the number of people he serves.
dream reality action
A dream becomes a reality as a result of your actions, and your actions are controlled, to a large extent, by your habits.
character people choices
People of poor character tend to blame their choices on circumstances. Ethical people make good choices regardless of circumstances. If they make enough good choices, they begin to create better conditions for themselves.
leadership mistake notion
Don't buy into the notion that mistakes can somehow be avoided. They can't be.
christian book community
I hold conferences, and the result of that was that the secular community also started picking up my stuff, and pretty soon they wanted more. So I realized I could not only minister to the Christian community, but I could also minister to the corporate community. So my books started crossing over, and then I began to intentionally have them cross over.
firsts persons first-person
The first person you lead is you.
people religion needs
You have to live with the people to know their needs, and you have to live with God to know how to solve them.
heart leader tape
To measure a leader, put a tape around his heart, not his head.
