Trust comes only with genuine effort, never with a lick and a promise.

The key elements in the art of working together are how to deal with change, how to deal with conflict, and how to reach our potential...the needs of the team are best met when we meet the needs of individual persons.

We cannot avoid growing old; but we can avoid growing cold.

When trust permeates a ministry, great things are possible, not the least of which is an opportunity to reach the ministry's potential.

When we think about the people with whom we work, people on whom we depend, we can see that without each individual, we are not going to go very far as a group. By ourselves, we suffer serious limitations. Together we can be something wonderful.

Leadership is much more an art, a belief, a condition of the heart, than a set of things to do.

We see a decline of civility, and, sadly, it’s often modeled by the very people from whom we have the least right to expect it.
