The Quotable Leader

Just wanted to share some great leadership thoughts and quotes this Sunday - I know each of these is true of our incredible ION leaders that are leading our small group launch this evening!

· Just as it takes a giant killer to produce other giant killers, it takes a leader to raise up other leaders.

· People don’t first follow worthy causes. They follow worthy leaders who promote worthwhile causes.

· When the pressure is on, great leaders are at their best. Whatever is inside them comes to the surface.

· The law of sacrifice says you have to give up to go up.

· The true nature of leadership is really sacrifice. Sacrifice is an ongoing process, not a one-time payment.

· When you become a leader, you lose the right to think about yourself.

· A legacy is created only when a person puts his organization into the position to do great things without him.

· Leadership is found in becoming the servant of all.

· Although potential leaders are born, effective leaders are made.

· The great leader is seen as the servant first.

· You must be very careful how you walk, and where you go, for there are those following you who will set their feet where yours are set.

· Leaders should be the chief repenters.

· A leader is best when he is neither seen nor heard, not so good when he is adored or glorified, worst when he is hated and despised.

· Christian leadership appears to break down into five main ingredients – clear vision, hard work, dogged perseverance, humble service and iron discipline.

· True greatness, true leadership, is achieved not by reducing men to one’s service but in giving oneself in selfless service to them.
