Wise leaders understand that the single greatest determinant of whether followers will ever own a vision deeply is the extent to which whose followers believe the leader will own it.

Prayerless people cut themselves off from God's prevailing power, and the frequent result is the familiar feeling of being overwhelmed, overrun, beaten down, pushed around, defeated. Surprising numbers of people are willing to settle for lives like that.

Our minds, like the needle in that compass, can focus on a variety of subjects throughout the day. But in the end, when they're left alone to settle, they'll focus on the objects of our greatest affection.

Destructive fear must be stopped in its tracks or it will undermine the life God invites us to live.

Vision is the most powerful weapon in the leader's arsenal.

Self awareness allows you to self-correct.

Leadership grit begets grit. Lead by example.
