For the next two days I will be live blogging the Global Leadership Summit. This is a special moment as the Summit will be celebrating its 25th year of investing in leaders.
I also would like to invite you to join myself, Rick Warren, Nona Jones, Bob Goff, Carey Nieuwhof, Mark Patterson and over 100 of today’s top Christian thinkers for the upcoming Navigating A New Season First Impressions Conference. This digital event will take place from November 4th through 6th. Nothing will prepare your church or organization to be effective in 2021 more than this event.

Day 2’s next speaker was Michael Todd. In 2015, Michael and his wife Natalie were entrusted with the leadership of Transformation Church by the founding Pastor. With a vision to reach their community, city and world with the Gospel in a relevant and progressive way, they’ve grown rapidly—After recently purchasing the SpiritiBank Event Center, their church serves 5,000 attendees live weekly and more than 120,000 online.
The following are 25 Leadership Quotes From Pastor Todd’s session on the Pace of Leadership:
- Many people watching this right now your pace is too fast. Your pace is unsustainable.
- The leadership pace is at a place that is unsustainable.
- Many of us are not as successful as we look internally.
- Because I’m a man of faith I compare it against the Word of God.
- Jesus accomplished everything in three years and was never running to His next appointment.
- Stride means to walk with long, decisive steps in a specific direction.
- The pace of walking lasts longer.
- The pace of grace is the sweet spot between great results and genuine rest.
- Is everything in your leadership moving at the same pace? Do you have leadership unity?
- The pace is not fast or slow. The pace is set.
- When you find the right pace, it’s easy for your team to follow you.
- We don’t need leaders who do great things for a short time. We need leaders who will be here.
- Being on pace allowed me to love and lead my family.
- Everything I’ve “achieved” doesn’t matter because I can enjoy everything I have.
- It doesn’t matter if your business is successful if you’re not successful.
- Poor pace produces missed moments, the meaning, and missed miracles.
- The right pace allows you to be present and being present is a gift to you.
- Get a vision of yourself rested, whole.
- Vision is what you see when your eyes are closed. Sight is what you see when your eyes are open.
- Make it visual. Write it down. Nothing is real until you write it down.
- Be verbal. Tell somebody you’re changing your pace up.
- Once you make your vision visual and verbal, don’t violate it.
- The results are then going to come and you will have added value.
- Pace brings peace and peace brings true prosperity.
- Success is not just where you end up. It’s how you get there.
