“Leading well is not about enriching yourself – it’s about empowering others”

People can open doors for you, but you must walk through.

All good leaders are connectors. They relate well and make people feel confident about themselves and their leader.

Needless to say, you can love people without leading them, but you cannot lead people without loving them.

We cannot become what we need by remaining what we are.

Life is like riding in a taxi. Whether you are going anywhere or not, the meter keeps ticking.

So think long and hard about who you’re spending the most time with, for wherever they are headed, so are you.

Your attitude is either your best friend or your worst enemy, your greatest asset or your greatest liability

Without a vision people and the church become self-centered. People start finding fault with one another and the church self-destructs.

You can’t be a smart cookie if you have a crummy attitude.

Leadership is influence, nothing more, nothing less. How do you gain influence from people? You invest in them. How do you invest in them? It starts with giving them time.

SUCCESS is when I add value to MYSELF. SIGNIFICANCE is when I add value to OTHERS.

Not realizing what you want is a problem of knowledge. Not pursuing what you want is a problem of motivation. Not achieving what you want is a problem of persistence.

Be intentional to add value to every person you meet everyday.

A leader is one who knows the way, goes the way, and shows the way.

To lead yourself, use your head; to lead others, use your heart. Always touch a person’s heart before you ask him for a hand.

A dream becomes a reality as a result of your actions, and your actions are controlled, to a large extent, by your habits.
