Great leaders always have self-discipline -without exception.

Tomorrow really will take care of itself if I do the right thing today.

The first step to leadership is servanthood.

When a leader is upbeat in the face of discouraging circumstances, others admire that quality and want to be like her.

Why would God send people to our church if we don't have a great dream? Why would God give a multigifted, multitalented, and multifinancially wealthy person to a church if the biggest thing you are going to do is paint the restrooms next year? That's bad stewardship.

A man must be big enough to admit his mistakes, smart enough to profit from them, and strong enough to correct them. This sequence is something that all achievers have in common. They do not see a mistake is as their failure; rather it is simply a learning experience. Achievers view a mistake as an opportunity to do something over again and do it right the second time. A mistake is simply the price they pay to achieve success.

Relational skills are the most important abilities in leadership.
