Believing in people before they have proved themselves is the key to motivating people to reach their potential.

I wish I could say I coined the phrase "failing forward." I do it all the time. I find as I've embraced this approach to business, life, cycling and generally any new endeavor I take on, I've grown more and more comfortable with the possibility that I am not likely to succeed on my first try. And that's ok.

Leaders provide for their people what the people cannot provide for themselves.

The collective influence of you and the other leaders will bring the rest along. If this does not happen, divided interest and loyalty will occur within the group.

When the pastor and his or her church have a vision, they will put their energy, time, money, and personnel into achieving it.

The whole idea of motivation is a trap, forget motivation, just do it

We fail, not because of big problems, but because of small purposes.
