Anyone can steer a ship, but it takes a leader to chart the course

In my leadership conferences, pastors ask, "Do you have a vision for my church?" Many times they want me to give them a picture of where they should go and what their church should look like. When these pastors do this, I always feel bad.

The real test of leadership isn't where you start out. It's where you end up.

Understanding people certainly impacts your ability to communicate with others.

Unless you want to carry the whole load yourself, you need to be developing leaders.

Self-centered leaders manipulate when they move people for personal benefit. Mature leaders motivate by moving people for mutual benefit.

We don't mature momentarily, but over the long-term.
