The first responsibility of a leader is to define reality.
We cannot avoid growing old; but we can avoid growing cold.
We can accomplish more together than we can alone.
We talk about the quality of product and service. What about the quality of our relationships and the quality of our communications and the quality of our promises to each other?
Leaders don't inflict pain - they share pain.
When trust permeates a ministry, great things are possible, not the least of which is an opportunity to reach the ministry's potential.
