Obedience unlocks God's power.

when you're a pastor, your heart and soul and paycheck and doubts and faith and hopes and struggles and intellect and responsibility are all wrapped up together in a life/job that is very public.

Hell is paved with priests' skulls.

You are priests, not social or political leaders. Let us not be under the illusion that we are serving the Gospel through an exaggerated interest in the wide field of temporal problems.

Respect is the key determinant of high performance leadership. How much people respect you determines how well they perform.

Unfortunately, lack of obedience is one of our most difficult problems in America. Many people erroneously believe that being obedient means being subservient to someone else. In reality, it indicates respect for the authority of an authority figure. Realistically speaking, you must respect authority before you can legitimately expect others to respect your authority.

In the knowledge economy everyone is a volunteer, but we have trained our managers to manage conscripts.

Leadership is not about being in charge. Leadership is about taking care of those in your charge.

It is difficult to practice obedience; but it is even more difficult to practice leadership.

Leadership is liberating people to do what is required of them in the most effective and humane way possible.

The led must not be compelled; they must be able to choose their own leader.

Leadership is stewardship, it's temporary and you're accountable!
