For leaders to be effective, they need to connect with people.

The best way to serve the individuals on the team is to see that the whole team wins.

The person who does only what he must when he is in the mood or when it's convenient isn't going to be successful.

I have found progress, personal growth, and new and exciting opportunities in my failure. I've grown more comfortable with the fact that in certain circumstances, I'm the person in the room who knows the least about what's going on.

And so with intention I said, "Okay I'm going to write books not only for the Christian community, but also for the secular community." I found it really rewarding because the last one to use my gifts and advantages to people who look at church as not on their radar screen at all, it gives me favor with - I do a lot with Fortune 500 companies now.

The measure of a leader is not the number of people who serve him, but the number of people he serves.
