• An organization is the reflection of its leadership.
• Every good leader is self-aware. She knows her weaknesses and where she needs help.
• A good leader invites others to speak into his life.
• People naturally attribute someone else's behavior to their character. But we tend to blame our own behavior on our circumstances.
• A newer or smaller church has a tendency to get off-course--because everyone thinks the mission is up for discussion.
• One of our team's strengths: A willingness to get naked (bonding, vulnerable).
• The difference between where you are and where God wants you to be is the pain you're unwilling to endure.
• Our own capacity as leaders will be found at our ability to endure pain.
