Leadership is an act of submission to God. To be a leader means listening to all kinds of people and situations. Out of that listening, we are hoping to discern the mind of God as best we can. This is the price of leadership - it's an act of sacrifice. So leadership is part and parcel of the work of submission to God.

Leadership is about being a servant first.

The most important thing as a leader is your relationship with God.

Leadership is hard to define and good leadership even harder. But if you can get people to follow you to the ends of the earth, you are a great leader.

Leaders receive and give assignments. This is an important part of the necessary principle of delegating. No one appreciates a willing volunteer more than I, but the total work cannot be done as the Lord wants it done merely by those doing the work who may be present at meetings.

One of the most important things about leadership is that you have to have the kind of humility that will allow you to be coached.

Leadership is all about taking people on a journey. The challenge is that most of the time, we are asking people to follow us to places we ourselves have never been.

The only way you can serve God is by serving other people.

The best leaders are following Christ. That's the best leader you can follow.

A leader must be a good listener. He must be willing to take counsel. He must show a genuine concern and love for those under his stewardship.
