What you give to help others, builds them up enough that they are able to give to others. It's a cycle that can continue on long after you're dead and gone.

The attitude of the leader affects the atmosphere of the office

Openness by the leader paves the way for ownership by the people. Without ownership, changes will be short term. Changing people's habits and ways of thinking is like writing instructions in the snow during a snowstorm. Every twenty minutes the instructions must be rewritten, unless ownership is given along with instructions.

Passion gives you an advantage over others, because one person with passion is greater than ninety-nine who have only an interest!

If the church is going to make a difference, it will need to go through the "big give-up" stage. Churches will need to quit being selfish and become relevant.

Character creates consistency, and if your people know what they can expect from you, they will continue to look to you for leadership.

If something can be done 80% as well by someone else, delegate!
