In an effort to add value to pastors and church leaders, INJOY Stewardship Solutions has dispatched me to attend the Willow Creek Global Leadership Summit. During the next three days, I will be bringing the top leadership lessons from the incredible faculty the WCA has assembled.
As a special gift to everyone reading these posts, INJOY Stewardship is offering a complimentary downloadable Ebook Discipling Financial Leaders. Click Here to Download this Free Resource!
The afternoon’s third session was conducted by Sallie Krawcheck. Sallie has been called “The Last Honest Analyst” on Wall Street by Fortune Magazine. She argued that clients should be reimbursed for a portion of the losses they incurred during the financial downturn. Sallie was named number 9 on Fast Company’s list of the “100 Most Creative People 2014.”
The following are 32 Leadership Quotes From SallieKrawcheck from the Global Leadership Summit:
