The single biggest way to impact an organization is to focus on leadership development. There is almost no limit to the potential of an organization that recruits good people, raises them up as leaders and continually develops them.

People will not follow a leader who does not have confidence in himself.

Before you can do anything else in the lives of others, you must show them love.

One of the greatest values of mentors is the ability to see ahead what others cannot see and to help them navigate a course to their destination.

Teamwork makes the dream work, but a vision becomes a nightmare when the leader has a big dream and a bad team.

There is something to be said about a pastor and a church that develop a missions statement and the people take ownership of it. They get their identity, purpose, and energy from the unique place their church is to be in that community.

No matter your title, people will not follow you if they don’t trust you. Whether you are just taking over a team or working to implement large-scale change within one, you are guaranteed to run into resistance if you haven’t taken time to establish a foundation with the people you oversee before turning their worlds upside down.
