Leadership Is The Willingness To Put Oneself

Leadership Is Evoking In Others The Capacity To Dream.

When I Had Something I Thought God Was Talking To Me About, The First Thing I Did, Before I Ever Talked To The Congregation, Was To Sit Down With The Major Influencers Of The Church And Share With Them What I Thought God Was Speaking To Me. I Gave Them Time For Input Or Questions. Many Times They Would Ask Questions And I Would Reply, "i Need To Spend More Time On This. I'm Not Sure I'm Thinking Clearly There." Other Times They Added Value And Helped Make This Vision Better Or More Accessible To The People.

Never Allow Others To Think You Always Have The Best Answers. This Will Only Make Them Dependent On You.

Until I Understand Where I Am, I Can’t Get To Where I Am Going. This Is The Value Of A Compass When We Are Out Walking Or Hiking And Need To Know We’re Going In The Right Direction. But We Also Have An Internal North Star. It’s That Little Nudge That Tells Us If We Are On The Right Path To Fulfilling Our Potential, Or On The Wrong Path Wasting Energy Traveling Somewhere We Don’t Need To Go. So My Advice To You Is, Pull Out That Compass Every Once In A While And Make Sure You Are Navigating In The Right Direction On Your Journey.

I May Not Be Able To Change The World I See Around Me, But I Can Change The Way I See The World Within Me.
