“In a team setting, leadership is shared by a community of people, which counters the tendency for pastors to form congregations in their own images.”

“Set your stage of successful leadership so that your team will have a place to operate from and lead with you.”

“A pastor should never complain about his congregation, certainly never to other people, but also not to God. A congregation has not been entrusted to him in order that he should become its accuser before God and men.”

“Self-leadership is about awareness, tolerance , and not letting your own natural tendencies limit your potential.”

“Jesus served as the supreme example of good Christian leadership through servant-hood, humility, taking risks, sharing responsibilities with others, and building a team. He placed the needs of others ahead of His own. He wasn’t judgmental and definitely wasn’t hypocritical.”

“The church is not a campus but a community. Pastors are not CEOs; they are shepherds.”
