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

It's one thing to see a vision; it's another thing to be seized by a vision.

It’s the great temptation for small groups of people to slide into a state where they’re not quite telling each other the truth and they’re not quite celebrating each other. Instead, they tolerate each other, they accommodate each other, and they settle for sitting on the unspoken matters that separate them.

You're a leader. It's your job to keep your passion hot. Do whatever you have to do, read whatever you have to read, go wherever you have to go to stay fired up. And don't apologize to anybody.

Our conduct will never change God's character.

If it's the last thing I do, I will give every ounce of the rest of my life to helping leaders and churches get better.

Great leadership is by definition relentlessly developmental.
