Failure is an inside job. So is success. If you want to achieve, you have to win the war in your thinking first. You can't let the failure outside you get inside you.

The first step to leadership is servanthood.

Followers are always watching what you do. And people do what people see! If you are a leader seeking to make your vision come alive, then there is no better way to accomplish this than by living it: Modeling your expectations, setting the example by your actions, and showing the way through leading. Your followers, who are watching, will see in you the living picture of the vision, and you will produce the energy, motivation and passion to keep it going.

The law of process says — leaders develop daily, not in a day.

Seek people who seek solutions.

At the beginning, all we have is the vision. At that point God expects us to begin walking in obedience according to the dream He has given us.

The leader finds the dream and then the people. The people find the leader and then the dream.
