Leader = ???

To grow we have to always be learning and stretching.

Here are some of my favorite leadership thoughts from the book, “Next Generation Leader” by Andy Stanley.
This book was given to the leadership team at Sanctuary. I tweaked some of the leadership thoughts for this blog.

Here we go…

Devoting a little of yourself to everything means devoting a great deal of yourself to nothing.

The leader is the one who has the courage to act on what he sees.

Your spiritual gift is your SWEET SPOT. It makes the biggest difference.

A leader is someone who has the courage to say publicly what everyone else is whispering privately.

Leadership requires the courage to challenge what IS for the sake of what COULD BE.

Opportunity does not equal obligation.

The goal of leadership is not to eradicate uncertainty, but rather navigate it.

Pretending erodes respect much quicker than an admission of uncertainty.
Uncertainty exposes a lack of knowledge. Pretending exposes a lack of character.

A good leader will evaluate your performance against your POTENTIAL, not against others!
