Leadership and change ~ Random realities

Leaders articulate the vision over & over. Just when you think people must be sick of hearing it, many people just start to understand. Why? Vision leaks and mission drifts ~ so we must continually refocus.

Vision is a prerequisite of leadership; fulfilling God-given vision is the aim of leaders.


As leaders, we learn a lot more from our failures than we do our victories.

Change is hard. Massive change is massively hard.

Change is inevitable. The question: Will we change for the better…or change for worse?

To change…we often need to “feel” the need deeply to be sufficiently motivated to voluntarily change.

Change for change may only be chaos; sometimes chaos can catapult a collision with destiny…leaders listening to the winds of the Spirit…essential for discernment.

If things are going well, you have to work on it continually. Otherwise it will disintegrate. If you want things to be better, you have to exponentially invest time and effort. That is leadership.

Change will never happen by itself...it takes leadership to effect change.

Whether it’s your family or ministry, things will naturally tend toward confusion and disorder. In a closed system (with no input of energy), confusion and disorder must increase. So, it is up to leaders to continually inject energy into the system.

The single most important element in your ministry is leadership; it’s more important than worship, discipleship or missions outreach. Why? The many facets of ministry will not effectively advance the Kingdom without good leadership.

God calls leaders because when the masses lead history affirms you often get a riot or mediocrity ~not a very desirous result.

Pursuing the dream...embracing the journey
