It was while I was pastoring that I began to realize that pastors were not growing churches because they didn't understand leadership because they were not trained, adequate leaders.

Don't wait until you feel positive to move forward. Act your way into feeling good.

Talent is a gift, but our character is a choice. Talent is natural ability, our gift from God, but we have the power to determine our character. That power rests on a foundation consisting of the choices we make in life. And those choices almost always dictate the amount of trust others have in us, and to what level of leadership we rise.

Mentally strong people are comfortable in their own skin.

A trustworthy leader goes the extra mile to remedy strained relationships, even when it doesn't appear to be required.

A manager says 'go,' but a leader says 'let's go'.

To Stay Focused in Life: You can't know everyone You can't do everything You can't go everywhere We have to pick and choose between good and a little bit better.
