In my leadership conferences, pastors ask, "Do you have a vision for my church?" Many times they want me to give them a picture of where they should go and what their church should look like. When these pastors do this, I always feel bad.

Leadership is not a right-it is a responsibility.

The more you do, the more you fail. The more you fail, the more you learn. The more you learn, the better you get.

The only guarantee for failure is to stop trying

If a leader cannot give you a clear picture of what he or she sees in the future, that person is not the leader of that organization.

Many times when people leave churches we think it's a doctrinal issue, but most of the time it's a leadership issue.

Good thinkers are always in demand. A person who knows how may always have a job, but the person who knows why will always be his boss.
