leadership two family-and-friends
Family and friendships are two of the greatest facilitators of happiness.

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."

The only adequate preparation for tomorrow is the right use of today.

You can't move people to action unless you first move them with emotion. The heart comes before the head.
leadership progress doe
Progress does not occur without change.
leader church realizing
It was while I was pastoring that I began to realize that pastors were not growing churches because they didn't understand leadership because they were not trained, adequate leaders.
leadership people tough-times
Thank God for the tough times. They are the reason you are there - to be the leader. If everything was going well, the people wouldn't need you!
expectations people levels
If we treat people as who they can become, they will be inspired to rise to the level of our expectations.

Be a river - not a reservoir.
hurt maturity people
People change when they hurt enough that they have to change, learn enough that they want to change, receive enough that they are able to change.
people training kind
I do a lot of conferences, a lot of leadership training. For about six or seven years I've been making this statement - every time I make it, I can see people just kind of - it's just one of those light bulb moments.
trying wish succeed
I wish I could say I coined the phrase "failing forward." I do it all the time. I find as I've embraced this approach to business, life, cycling and generally any new endeavor I take on, I've grown more and more comfortable with the possibility that I am not likely to succeed on my first try. And that's ok.
