If you want to be positive, upbeat, and passionate, you need to take responsibility for being that way.

No great leader in history fought to prevent change.

A leader's attitude is caught by his or her followers more quickly than his or her actions.

Many times when people have a vision, they think in terms of a big vision - I want to take my city for Christ. But the problem with many pastors and this type of vision is this: they haven't developed the strategy to fulfill that vision. A pastor preaches a dream or vision to his/her people, they get excited for a week, a month, or a couple of months, but there is no strategy, planning, or process to fulfill that vision.

Without leadership ability,a person's impact is only a fraction of what it could be with good leadership.

The higher you want to climb, the more you need leadership. The greater the impact you want to make, the greater your influence needs to be. Whatever you will accomplish is restricted by your ability to lead others.

To do something really big, let go of your ego, and get ready to be part of a team.
