The leader is the organization's top strategist... systematically envisioning the future and specifically mapping out how to get there.

The mark of community is not the absence of conflict. It's the presence of a reconciling spirit.

Whenever you see something going well - whenever light begins to chase back the darkness that threatens to engulf our world - look closely. There stands a leader who is holding that candle.

I hate thinking about it, teaching about it, and writing about it. But the plain truth is that hell is real and real people go there for eternity.

Every single decision you make as a leader has an effect on the spirit of those you lead.

The grander the vision the greater the price tag.

Vision is a picture of the future that produces passion.
