When God wants to do an impossible task, He takes an impossible person and crushes them. –Allen Redpath. So, leave room in your life for the crushing.
Ten Things I have Learned about Leadership:
1. It’s lonely to lead,
2. It’s dangerous to succeed (because it takes pain, failure, disappointment, and
that requires time),
3. It’s hardest at home (even, Chuck Swindoll get’s mad and tells his wife to “shut
up”. Didn't expect that level of honesty),
4. It’s essential to be real,
5. It’s painful to obey,
6. Brokenness and failure are necessary (Mugridge- contrary to what would be
expected, I’ll look back on experiences that were especially painful with greater
fondness than success… everything I’ve learned has been through affliction to
through success. Without which life would not be delectable, but unbearable),
7. My attitude is more important than my actions. Am I getting hard to be around?
8. Integrity eclipses image,
9. God’s way is better than my way (God cannot pour His riches into hands already
full),
10.Christ-likeness begins and ends with humility.
Five things worth remember during my Next 50 Years in leadership:
1. Whatever you do, do more with others and less alone,
2. Whenever you do it, emphasize quality not quantity,
3. Wherever you go, do it the same as if you were among those who know you best,
4. Whoever may respond, keep a level head, whether highly praising or critical.
Be cautious with those on both extremes, and neither deserve much time or
attention,
5. However long you lead, keep on dripping with gratitude and grace.
