The following are 25 Leadership Quotes And Lessons From informative session:
- Predictable success is the ability to scale.
- Early struggle is the first stage of starting anything. Churches start with personified leadership.
- At the beginning the church is the senior pastor and a group of enablers.
- The next stage is Fun.
- The most frequent word in Fun is “Yes!”
- We then begin to move to team leadership and titles.
- Some senior pastors are visionaries. Some are arsonists.
- The lack of alignments between the personified leader and the leadership team brings weariness and tears the team apart.
- Drop the phrase “Founding Pastor.” It’s not helpful.
- The development of a mature team as you grow is important.
- In Whitewater you start to make mistakes. We start to see separation in the leadership team.
- You need to build a culture of leadership.
- You have to define leadership.
- Leadership is any act that gets a group of people closer to an agree upon common goal.
- A leadership team is not the sole realm of the leadership team. Anyone can commit a random act of leadership.
- Leadership is not necessarily a permanent state.
- You don’t get transparency unless you set yourself up for it.
- You scale when you do less leadership and start shepherding it more.
- Leadership is not about people.
- Leadership is about getting closer to your common goal.
- It’s not your job to make sure everyone feels good.
- Leadership does not have to delegate authority.
- A leadership team is a machine for decision-making. This is how you get out of whitewater.
