“The world is full…..

……of men who want to be right, when actually the secret of a man’s strength and his pathway to true honour is his ability to admit fault when he has failed. God wants to fill the church with men who can say they are wrong when THEY ARE WRONG. A man who is willing to humble himself before God and his family and say:”I was wrong.” will find that his family has all the confidence in the world in him and will much more readily follow him. If he stubbornly refuses to repent or admit he was wrong, their confidence in him and in his leadership erodes.”

– Jim Anderson

“True leaders understand…..

… that leadership is not about them but about those they serve. It is not about exalting themselves but about lifting others up.”

– Sheri L Dew

“If you want to build a ship…..

……, don’t drum up the men to gather wood, divide the work, and give orders. Instead, teach them to yearn for the vast and endless sea.”

– Antoine De Saint-Exupery

“A sense of humour….

…….. is part of the art of leadership, of getting along with people, of getting things done.”

– Dwight D Eisenhower

“Surround yourself with…..

……. great people; delegate authority; get out of the way”

– Ronald Reagan

“Jesus said several times…..

….. “Come, follow me.” His was a program of “do what I do,” rather than “do what I say.” His innate brilliance would have permitted him to put on a dazzling display, but that would have left his followers far behind. He walked and worked with those he was to serve. His was not a long-distance leadership. He was not afraid of close friendships; he was not afraid that proximity to him would disappoint his followers. The leaven of true leadership cannot lift others unless we are with and serve those to be led.”

– Spencer Kimball

“I must admit……

……… that I have learned more from my negative experiences than I have ever learned from my positive ones.”

– John Paul Warren

“Leadership is not …..

…… about titles, positions or flowcharts. It is about one life influencing another.”

– John Maxwell

“The ruler attains…..

…… wholeness in the correct governance of the people.”

– Lao Tzu

“Great teams do not…..

….. hold back with one another. They are unafraid to air their dirty laundry. They admit their mistakes, their weaknesses, and their concerns without fear of reprisal.”

– Patrick Lencioni
