people vision trying
When pastors ask me if their people will buy this vision, I ask them two questions: "Have they bought into your leadership?" If they haven't, don't ever try to pass on a vision. Second, "Have you processed this vision correctly?"
motivational successful people
Successful people reject rejection.
leadership opportunity thinking
People who are not leaders automatically gravitate toward lines--limitations set by others. Many people are taught this in kindergarten when they are instructed to stay within the lines while coloring. But leaders are more creative than that. They look for options and opportunities. They try to take things in a new direction, or beyond the limit. Progress and innovation are made by people who think without lines.
leadership people close-friends
All of the people in my life whom I consider to be close friends or colleagues are good thinkers.
leadership dream knowing
The leader continually passes on the vision to those who come around, knowing that dreams, if presented right, are contagious.
leadership achievement
Without failure there is no achievement.
leadership power-of-one
Leadership is the power of one harnessing the power of many.
dream couple thinking
Many times when people have a vision, they think in terms of a big vision - I want to take my city for Christ. But the problem with many pastors and this type of vision is this: they haven't developed the strategy to fulfill that vision. A pastor preaches a dream or vision to his/her people, they get excited for a week, a month, or a couple of months, but there is no strategy, planning, or process to fulfill that vision.
leadership two family-and-friends
Family and friendships are two of the greatest facilitators of happiness.
attitude worst-enemy your-best-friend
Your attitude is either your best friend or your worst enemy, your greatest asset or your greatest liability
leadership growing-up team
Values hold the team together, provide stability for the team to grow upon, measure the team's performance, give direction and guidance and attract like-minded people.
basketball attitude giving-up
When I was 17, I made the decision to have a good attitude. I was a junior in high school; the coach said I was going to be the captain of my basketball team. I thought - that surprised me because I wasn't the best player. And I kept thinking, "Why am I going to be the captain?" I think everybody else was thinking that too. And the coach then answered, "The reason John is going to be the captain is he has the best attitude on the team. He encourages others, he believes we can win, he never gives up."
preparation adequate today
The only adequate preparation for tomorrow is the right use of today.
moving heart people
You can't move people to action unless you first move them with emotion. The heart comes before the head.
