Dan Reiland, the incomparable executive pastor of 12Stone Church, recently gave a leadership clinic of coaching elite talent. Before getting to this month’s most read leadership posts, I want to share his comments with you.
Dan said, “About 30% (of your team) are stars. They’re the hardest to coach because they’re so good. Your star players want to get better more than the others. … The number one thing leaders should be thinking about is solving problems. Never allow your staff to bring you only one solution. Make them focus on solving problems, not relieving pressure. Learning how to think solves 100 problems. Ideas are everything. The higher you go the more valuable an idea is.”
Make sure you check back later this week as more will be coming from Dan’s session.

The Top 75 Leadership Quotes From 2021 Part 2 is my latest ebook. For many entering a post-pandemic environment, leadership looks completely different than the pre-pandemic world. People are more broken now. They are more uncertain. Fear and anxiousness are unwelcome constant companions. Cultures are more unhealthy. Relationships are more dysfunctional. Hope seems to be in short supply. Every day seems to bring a new hacking, natural disaster, or unexpected calamity.
Therefore, the fundamentals of leadership are more important than ever. The quotes in this book deal with the basics of leadership.
