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.

Let God talk to you and minister to you, where you get honest with Him - here's what I do well and don't do well; here are my shortcomings, my strengths, and my gifts.

It's lonely at the top, so you better know why you are there.

Leaders must live by higher standards than their followers.

The greatest enemy of good thinking is busyness.

There is no success without a successor.

The difference between average people and achieving people is their perception of and response to...failure.
