Live Blog From ReThink Conference – 17 Leadership Quotes From Leonce Crump and Jon Acuff Interview

For the next three days, I will be live blogging from the ReThink Leadership Conference in Atlanta, GA.  ReThink, open exclusively to senior pastors, campus pastors and executive pastors, is a unique gathering of church leaders who are committed to solving the biggest challenges facing your church and the Church.

The next session was a follow-up interview with Leonce Crump Jr. and Jon Acuff.  The following are 17 leadership quotes I captured from Carey Nieuwhof’s interview with these two amazing leaders:

1. The CEO’s primary job is to architect the environment for the success of the people they are serving. It’s a servant role. – LC
2. A lot of senior pastors get so bogged down in the doing, you don’t step back and evaluate. – LC
3. Because I can be funny, I can fake my way in a lot of situations. Strategy makes you do the hard work that is not fun. – JA
4. If I don’t get strategy in ever part of my life, I’m going to be a place at 60 I don’t want to be at. – JA
5. I don’t want to coast. The hardest of strategy is imposing limits. As leaders, we think we’re limitless. – JA
6. The more I’m at my limits, the more I see a limitless God. – JA
7. Balance is a myth. – LC
8. Trying to be balanced was the most foolish thing I was doing. Balance leads to exhaustion. – LC
9. I can only do certain amounts of things. I have to put the best time to writing. – JA
10. Without strategy, the best things in my life don’t the best of my time. – JA
11. Everyday I try to do three hours of writing. – JA
12. When you have to be part of a team of people who has to remove the founder of your network because his life burned out, you start to take stock in your life. – LC
13. Bigger is not better. Better is better. – LC
14. Cancer is big but it’s not healthy. It’s overgrown cells. – LC
15. I have a highly detached personality. – LC
16. Ignore the wrong people and welcome the right people. The wrong people are the ones not considering the scope of your responsibilities. – LC
17. You only have a business if it runs without you. – CN

More to come.
