Two days @ the Leadership Summit…Yikes!!!! Thought I’d pass along these thoughts…it’s just a tip of the iceberg but it’s enough for me to chew on for weeks…bring it on, God…sitting at His feet…10 things to ponder...
Gary Haugen
1. Leadership doesn't matter as much in things cheerful, safe, and easy... it's critical in things that are scary, dangerous and hard. Jesus did not come to make us safe; He came to make us brave. If I'm playing football and no one is hitting me--I may need to check to make sure I'm in the game.
2. God, please rescue me from all things petty.
3. Follow my compass not my clock. (Direction matters more- staying on course than my timetable.)
Bill George
4. We have knowledge workers--people smarter than the leaders of the company--give them the opportunity to lead. Each of has to find our true north, our authentic leadership and lead from that foundation, all else, anything less will take us off course and can lead to disaster organizationally and/or personally.
John Burke
5. Our job is not to fix, grow, or change people- only to work on the soil/environments we create. We do our part, God does His.
Craig Groeschel
6. Better ministry is better, not more ministry. In order to reach people no one is reaching, do things no one is doing.
7. God break my heart.
Chuck Colson
8. Your job is not to pander to your people, it's to lead them.
Catherine Rohr
9. Simple prayer: Bring it on, God.
10. God has better plans for me than I do; I just need to chill out and give up control.
Embracing the journey...pursuing the dream
