Today I am being dispatched by INJOY Stewardship Solutions to attend Leadercast Live.  In an effort to aid in my personal growth and better add value to pastors and church leaders, I will be live blogging throughout.  Leadercast Live is the world’s largest one-day leadership event, with more than 100,000 attendees at 700+ locations across 20 countries.  It is designed for those seeking inspiration and improvement in leadership, whether you attend as an individual or with a group.

INJOY Stewardship also wants to invest in your leadership as well by offering you our latest FREE resource Stop Summer Slump by clicking HERE for your complimentary copy.

Session 3’s first speaker was Suzy Welch.  Suzy is a leadership expert and best selling author of books like 10-10-10: A Fast and Powerful Way to Get Unstuck in Love, at Work, and with Your Family and The Real-Life MBA: Your No-BS Guide to Winning the Game, Building a Team, and Growing Your Career.  The following are 26 Leadership Quotes and Lessons from her inspiring session on her three favorite mistakes:

  1. It all comes out in the wash except you have to do the wash in the spin cycle. And sometimes you get hung out to dry.
  2. My parents were complete and total hippies.
  3. I studied harder than anyone, I studied, and I prayed on my knees (while at Harvard).
  4. I was fired my first day on the job.
  5. I thought being a leader meant being the boss, issuing edicts from on high.
  6. Being a leader meant lifting people up.
  7. You succeed in basking in the glory of your people when they succeed.
  8. When you become a leader, the Me Show is over. And it becomes the Us Show.

  11. To get things done you need to be right.
  12. Your people would rather have you be right than be smart.

  24. The only option for joy is authenticity.
  25. Don’t be afraid. Don’t be scared. Just be ready.
  26. Love your mistakes too. Just don’t miss out on the lessons of them
