This weekend I have been live blogging from Johnny Hunt’s Mens Conference. This has become a must-attend event for me personally as it offers me two days to recharge my leadership batteries coming out of the holiday season.
With over 5,000 men live in attendance and over 50,000 viewing in simulcasts around the world, this year’s theme was Take Aim. We want to Take Aim at some of the issues that hold us back from becoming the husbands, fathers and leaders Jesus is calling us to be. Wrong thinking. Bad choices. Lack of self control.
The following are 29 Leadership Quotes And Lessons On Finishing Well From Johnny Hunt’s Final Session:
