At the heart of leadership….

….. is the leader’s relationship with followers. People will entrust their hopes and dreams to another person only if they think the other is a reliable vessel.

– David Gergan

The ultimate measure….

…… of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.

– Martin Luther King Jr.

Life is the leader’s…..

……laboratory, and exemplary leaders use it to conduct as many experiments as possible. Try, fail, learn. Try, fail, learn. Try, fail, learn. That’s the leader’s mantra. Leaders are learners. They learn from their failures as well as their successes, and they make it possible for others to do the same.

 – James Kouzes & Barry Posner

Take time to …..

…… deliberate; but when the time for action arrives, stop thinking and go in.

– Andrew Jackson

Do not follow…..

…….. where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.

– Harold McAlindon

“A vision we give…..

….. to others of who and what they could become has power when it echoes what the spirit has already spoken into their souls.”

– Larry Crabb

The trouble with the world…..

 

…… is that the stupid are full of confidence whilst the intelligent are full of doubt

– Bertrand Russell

A leader is one …..

…… who sees more than others see, who sees farther than others see and who sees before others see

– Leroy Eimes

“Real leadership is…..

……. being the person others will gladly and confidently follow.”

– John C Maxwell

“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.”
