“When the leader lacks confidence, the followers lack commitment.” 

“The Cost and Expectation of Leadership Leviticus 7:33–35 Aaron, like many leaders throughout history, received a divine calling. God chose Aaron and his sons to serve as Israel’s priests and charged them with carrying out rituals and sacrifices on behalf of all Israelites. Scripture gives meticulous detail to their ordination and calling. Their conduct was to be beyond reproach—and God made it crystal clear that failure to uphold His established guidelines would result in death. Numerous accounts in the Book of Leviticus demonstrate the high cost and expectation that goes with a holy calling to leadership positions. As the high priest, Aaron was the only one authorized to enter the Most Holy Place and appear before the very presence of God. The Lord set Aaron apart for his holy work. Despite his high calling, Aaron struggled with his authority and later caved in to the depraved wishes of the people. He failed at a crucial juncture and led Israel in a pagan worship service, an abomination that led to the deaths of many Israelites. Aaron had been set apart for God’s service, but he chose to live and lead otherwise. The failure of a leader usually results in consequences far more grave than the fall of a non-leader. On the day Aaron failed, “about three thousand men of the people fell [died]” (Ex. 32:28). When leaders fail, followers pay the price.”

“Leaders see everything with a leadership bias. Their focus is on mobilizing people and leveraging resources to achieve their goals rather than on using their own individual efforts. Leaders who want to succeed maximize every asset and resource they have for the benefit of their organization. For that reason, they are continually aware of what they have at their disposal.”

“Cartoonist Henri Arnold said, “The wise man questions himself, the fool others.”

“John W. Gardner observed, “If I had to name a single all-purpose instrument of leadership, it would be communication.”

“as the challenge escalates, the need for teamwork elevates.”

“Tell them how much you appreciate them.”

“Every message that people receive is filtered through the messenger who delivers it.”

“The Right Thought plus the Right People in the Right Environment at the Right Time for the Right Reason = the Right Result”

“People say there are two great days in a person’s life: the day you were born and the day you discover why

“He that thinketh he leadeth and hath no one following him is only taking a walk.”

“If you really want to be an uncommon leader, you’re going to have to find a way to get much of your vision seen, implemented, and added to by others.”

“A leader with great passion and few skills always outperforms a leader with great skills and no passion.”

“If you are to become more sensitive, you must be willing to take a risk. Take the initiative to find a need and take action.”

“Los administradores pueden mantener el rumbo, pero no pueden cambiarlo. Para cambiar el rumbo de las personas, se necesita influencia.”
