If you want to lead people, you have to let them come up close.

The truth is that you can spend your life any way you want, but you can spend it only once.

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.

The more seriously you take your growth, the more seriously your people will take you.

Be a river - not a reservoir.

If you can learn to understand people how they think, what they feel, what inspires them, how they're likely to act and react in a given situation- then you can motivate and influence them in a positive way.

Leadership is not about titles, positions or flowcharts. It is about one life influencing another.
