If churches would take ownership of a vision, the next pastor who is thinking about coming to that church can see what their vision is and then determine if their vision fits with his or her ministry. If it doesn't, then it would be wrong for that pastor to come to that church.

Never allow others to think you always have the best answers. This will only make them dependent on you.

Every person has seeds of greatness within, even though they may currently be dormant.

Become a coach, not a king. A coach brings out the best in others, helping them to reach deep down inside and discover their potential. A king only gives commands.

The best place for a leader isn't always at the top position. It is the place where they can serve the best and add the most value to other people.

Why would God send people to our church if we don't have a great dream? Why would God give a multigifted, multitalented, and multifinancially wealthy person to a church if the biggest thing you are going to do is paint the restrooms next year? That's bad stewardship.

If you believe in others and give them a positive reputation to uphold, you can help them to become better than they think they are.
