Good leaders understand that they are stewards. They must find the best people they can, giving them the opportunity to join in the journey developing them, and encouraging them to reach their potential. But they must hold on to people lightly. Those who start with you seldom finish with you.

A leader's lasting value is measured by succession.

A word of Encouragement from a leader can inspire a person to reach her potential.

Experience isn't the best teacher - evaluated experience is.

The bookends of success are starting and finishing. Decisions help us start; discipline helps us finish.

Most pastors have a hard time grasping a vision. But vision is the indispensable quality of a leader.

The leader finds the dream and then the people. The people find the leader and then the dream.
