Great leadership is by definition relentlessly developmental.

I would never want to reach out someday with a soft, uncallused hand-a hand never dirtied by serving-and shake the nail-pierced hand of Jesus.

The more varied the environments in which you exercise your leadership gift, the stronger that gift will become. You will become a far more effective leader.

If your life is rushing in many directions at once, you are incapable of the kind of deep, unhurried prayer that is vital to the Christian walk.

The worst days of leadership beat the best days of being an onlooker.

People won't give their best unless their leader challenges them to do so.

The local church is the hope of the world, and its future rests primarily in the hands of its leaders.
