As a servant leader the way you serve the vision is by developing people so that they can work on that vision even when you're not around. The ultimate sin of an effective servant leader is what happens when you are not there. That was the power of Jesus' leadership-the leaders He trained went on to change the world when He was no longer with them in bodily form.

Effective team leaders adjust their style to provide what the group can't provide for itself.

Nice guys may appear to finish last, but usually they are running a different race.

A river without banks is a large puddle.

Consistency isn't behaving the same way all the time.

When you're committed to something, you accept no excuses, only results.

Too many leaders act as if the sheep.. their people.. are there for the benefit of the shepherd, not that the shepherd has responsibility for the sheep.
